Keyword: Anthocyanins, carotenoids, Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1/2-1 jalapeno deseeded, finely diced
  • 1 cup watermelon diced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp mint chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to serving for full flavor development.

Notes

Carotenoids (like lycopene and beta carotene in watermelon) and polyphenols (like the anthocyanins malvidin and delphinidin in blueberries) actually work together to improve antioxidant activity in a synergistic way. This delicious take on a salsa is a refreshing addition to summer meals. Eat it alone or with your favorite summer dish! May we suggest it’s a nice compliment to fish, rice or chips.
