- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here
0:02
and I have got a great recipe for you today.
0:04
I think you're really gonna like it.
0:06
This is a watermelon salsa.
0:08
So this is obviously seasonal.
0:10
It's great during the summertime, really refreshing,
0:13
and it's got some ingredients in it
0:15
that I hope that you'll like.
0:17
I think you will. I do.
0:20
And it's gonna start with the star,
0:21
which is gonna be some watermelon, four cups of it.
0:29
Man, I say this all the time,
0:30
but I could just take a spoon
0:31
and just like shovel that into my mouth.
0:34
We had a pool party yesterday at our house,
0:36
had a bunch of kids over,
0:38
and, you know, family members.
0:42
And there's nothing like being outside
0:44
and just slicing open a whole watermelon
0:46
and cutting off chunks of it
0:47
and watching kids eat watermelon in the yard.
0:50
Gosh, it reminds me so much of when I was a little kid.
0:53
And we had friends down in Cordele
0:54
that worked a watermelon farm and we just sat around
0:58
and chowed down on watermelons.
1:00
We would eat 'em, gnats and all,
1:02
down in Southwest Georgia.
1:05
I mean everybody's seen 'em.
1:07
There's different types of gnats everywhere.
1:09
In Savannah, we have sand gnats, which are a real pain,
1:12
but down there they're just these,
1:14
they just buzz around, get in your eyes
1:15
and your nose and your ears and everything.
1:16
They'll land on the watermelon, man,
1:18
I remember we would just eat gnats and all.
1:21
Nothing like a good fresh watermelon.
1:23
And Cordele, Georgia is like home of maybe even the best.
1:28
All right, so I just started talking.
1:30
I kind of forgot what I was doing.
1:31
So tomato, I just added some tomato to my watermelon.
1:36
That's gonna give it a nice little flare, right?
1:40
Jalapeno, some lime juice,
1:42
'cause citrus makes everything better.
1:46
It's also a nice natural preservative.
1:55
that's gonna be nice too.
2:06
this is where you might lose people.
2:08
People are like "I dunno, purple onion..."
2:12
But you know what, we're talking about seasonal stuff.
2:14
So if you can get your hands on some vidalia onion,
2:16
also, like a sweeter onion, that might float your boat.
2:19
But purple onion looks really nice in this recipe.
2:41
Oh, that's gonna be so nice.
2:44
And last but not least,
2:52
Might lose some people here too,
2:53
'cause I know that some of us,
2:55
when we eat cilantro taste dish soap, you know,
2:59
and some of us don't.
3:01
So more or less, depending on what you like.
3:03
You could use fresh parsley here if you wanted to,
3:07
But I'm going with cilantro.
3:09
And I'm just gonna chop up a couple of tablespoons of it.
3:15
Sorry, a couple of tablespoons of it.
3:23
I think it's gonna balance things out nicely. Those flavors.
3:31
Not to mention that nice pop of color.
3:35
(indistinct) cilantro, those are great ingredients, right?
3:38
They're really nice, fresh.
3:41
Just scream summertime, salsa.
3:45
I don't know, what might you,
3:48
what might we eat this with?
3:51
You could put that- - Be good on some chips.
3:54
- [Speaker] Like you could,
3:55
I mean that could be with some like, you know what I mean?
3:58
Some different types of meats that...
4:02
Little side dish. - Yep.
4:04
- If you were to just eat ribs or-
4:06
- [Speaker] I wouldn't even need the chips.
4:09
Just gimme a giant spoon and get outta the way.
4:12
- [Speaker] Yeah, exactly.
4:14
- And I'm gonna try to fold all these ingredients together
4:16
so as not to mash it up.
4:18
I don't want watermelon juice.
4:21
I want it to hold together
4:22
and look like, that looks really great.
4:23
That's not too much purple tomatoes.
4:25
So if purple tomatoes don't do it for you.
4:32
- [Speaker] Purple onion.
4:33
- Or, I'm sorry, purple onion.
4:34
I said, what did I say? Purple tomato?
4:39
Got my mind on other things, I guess.
4:43
Okay, so that looks really, really nice and refreshing
4:47
and I want to taste it.
5:02
That is so satisfying.
5:07
Watermelon's fantastic, and mixed with the tomatoes.
5:09
The onions, the garlic salt's right there.
5:11
The cilantro is good. That's really, really nice.
5:14
Make this at the house,
5:15
even if you don't know what you might eat with it
5:17
or how you might eat it.
5:18
But that would be good on a really good chip too.
5:20
So, happy summer, y'all.
5:23
This is a good one that you'll like.
5:24
So, watermelon salsa.
