Making your own homemade salsa recipe is a real treat. It’s not only delicious and satisfying, it’s healthy too.
Fresh salsas are perfect during the summer for those BBQ dinners that need a tasty side dish or appetizer.

This recipe requires a lot of chopping. Don’t let that deter you from making it. I have included a video below to show you how to chop things efficiently to get the job done as quickly as possible. So you may want to check that out.
Here are 5 tips to keep in mind when making our homemade salsa recipe:
- Chop the cantaloupe, tomato, bell pepper, and avocado into 1/2 inch chunks.
- Chop the onion and garlic into a “super fine” mince, to really spread out those flavors.
- Cut and add the avocado last and sprinkle with the lime juice to prevent browning.
- Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors mingle.
- Fresh salsas are best eaten the same day they’re made.
