Watermelon, Black Bean and Corn Salsa - Tasty Tuesday

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love the colors and flavors of Southwestern cooking and this salsa is one of my favorite dishes. If you think of a meal as a play, this salsa would be act one; it sets the scene for a gorgeous entree and together the two will garner curtain calls. The salsa is unusual because it blends watermelon with standard ingredients and takes what is ordinary to another level. This takes minutes to prepare. It's especially good with barbecue and alfresco meals. The salsa can be made well before it's needed, but I recommend adding the watermelon just before serving. I like to serve it over crisp shredded lettuce and I'm not adverse to passing a bowl of chips around the table. I hope you'll try this one. I think you'll really like it.

Good Morning Mary! We are having our kids and grandkids over for a big BBQ and swim celebration. We will watch the fireworks display when the sun goes down. When we moved out here from Oklahoma, I always wanted to make the holidays a special time for my kids because we have no family out here, just us and the kids. They got used to me decorating and making holidays special for them, and now they are grown and the grandkids expect it too. I love decorating so it is fun just to see their faces each time they come and I have done something really special. Tomorrow I will start on the backyard. Thanks for stopping by to see my progress. It makes me so happy to have friends that I can write back and forth to. "Country Hugs to you Mary",Sherry

Yummm...I am really intrigued by the idea of all those spices with the watermelon (sample tasting in my imagination). I'll bet this IS really good! I'll have to look for watermelon slices the next time I go to the market so I can try this.
