Excellent recipe I've made now several time - thanks for posting it .. We love it on Caribbean dogs, as a dip or as a side salad type dish. I always tweak a recipe &amp; sometimes I add Cilantro instead of the Basil occasionally or just add both .. My husband loves Cantaloupe so I add it also ..    

This was amazing, I put it on fish tacos and it really added freshness.

It taste very good. But its not a salsa its a pico de gallo . i rate it 4 star because calling it a salsa is a disgrace to salsa<div><br /></div>

Outstanding! I've made this several times. Great fresh taste. A real  crowd pleaser.  I substituted a shallot for the onion last time and didn't use any pepper. Once used mint instead of basil (very good, too) Use with chips or as an accompaniment to chicken or pork. Takes more like 45 minutes to prepare if you want a nice presentation (small cubes). Still worth it. 

This is delicious and my new go to for summer BBQs!

Brought this to a 4th of July party and it was fantastic. Easy to make and refreshing on a hot summer day. People even asked for the recipe. I'm bringing it again this year! Happy to have a delicious summer party staple.

This is the second year of making this salsa.  It is truly an amazing recipe and is sure to be carried on in our family. My son now makes this recipe for his family.

The instructions say the watermelon should be "finely chopped." I believe this should say "cubed," judging by the photograph.

Absolutely amazing! You can make it medium or extra spicy and the prep is extra easy :

Made this for the first time to bring to a cookout.  Everyone who tried it loved it.  My new favorite!  Wonderful mix of flavors.  Will add slightly more basil next time.

Terrific recipe. Made it and shared it for a cocktail party. Everyone loved it. 

Did not like this very much.  The contrast of the acidic lime and the fruit did not go well together..

OUTSTANDING salsa.  I added a bit more lime zest and lime juice, but other than that, it is truly delicious.  A treat on a 108 degree day.

Made it for Memorial Day and everyone complimented all day!! Really refreshing and light. Great summertime treat.

This was fantastic! My husband doesn't care for fruit or cucumbers much but even he loved it! It was a great dish to take to a barbecue.

This was awesome. I omitted the garlic salt....that seemed odd.<br />The basil really made the difference.  <br />I served it with grilled fish - home run!

This was so delicious--perfect for an outdoor barbecue! After just two spoonfuls, my guests were clamoring for the recipe. Fabulous!

So light &amp; refreshing!! Used all the ingredients except jalapenos (I'm not a big spicy/hot fan UH-MAZING! A great balance of sweet/salty! Definitely going to be bringing this to any outdoor parties or BBQs. I think next time I'm going to try it with cilantro &amp; tomato &amp; see how the flavors work together!!
