EASY CANTALOUPE SALSA

Easy Cantaloupe Salsa image

This is the best salsa ever! The recipe was given to me by a friend and it always goes quickly. It's easy to double, and people always ask for the recipe so have extras on hand! I prefer fresh tomatoes, but the recipe calls for canned. You can also substitute any fruit to adjust it to your tastes. If you have a food processor or mini chopper, this recipe is much quicker and easier. Serve with Tostitos® Scoops!® chips. Enjoy!

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CANTALOUPE SALSA

Grilled Chicken with Cantaloupe Salsa image

Now that school is back in session, evenings are a rush to get everything on our to-do list done. From soccer practices, to homework and bedtime, dinnertime must be quick, easy and full of flavor. Chicken is always a satisfying meal and its flavor can be enhanced with many ingredients. This time, I took one very unexpected ingredient and made it into a salsa: Cantaloupe. With the sweetness of cantaloupe and the spiciness of serrano pepper, this unique meal will please everyone in your family. For a mild version, replace the serrano pepper with bell pepper. The kids will love it!

CANTALOUPE SALSA

Tortilla chips aside, this is also good over grilled fish or chicken. Variation: Try it with honeydew melon or a combination of the two. * Just a reminder....be sure to wear gloves when chopping hot chiles, and wash hands thoroughly afterwards!
