Snack on Watermelon salad

Nothing like a juicy watermelon to cool on a hot summer day. It hydrates, replenishes and is equally tasty and can be eaten in a number of ways.

A simple recipe using watermelon which can be had as a snack or a meal by itself.

Watermelon salad 

1 bowl of watermelon cut and de seeded.

Feta cheese 1/2 cup grated 

A handful of mint leaves 

Sliced white onion 

Salt and pepper according to taste 

Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl and squeeze a fresh lemon on it, refrigerate the salad 

and enjoy it chilled. You can also drizzle some balsamic vinegar on it and exclude the lemon if you like.

Hope you like it.

Macaroni Salad - Recipes for summer

Its summer, and we love our food light and refreshing at this time of the year. The heat is really bad and its difficult to eat anything which is very heavy and at the same time one gets hunger pangs what with summer being the season of outdoors and vacations.
I love to snack a lot in summer ( guess that's a little psychological thing I associate summer with school vacation and I am always in vacation mode in summer even now).

Here's a quick, healthy and light snack on the go (quick cause by now you guys must be knowing, I hate lengthy recipes and longs hours of work ;p).


Macaroni Salad

Boil one small bowl of Macaroni salad as per instructions, drain and set aside to cool.

Take 2 medium size cucumber and chop them finely.

Cherry tomatoes one bowl or One medium sized tomato finely chopped

Fresh coriander around a handful finely chopped for garnishing

curd as per required

salt and pepper as per taste.

Green chilies chopped finely optional.

one small capsicum finely chopped optional.

Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl nicely and set aside to cool in a refrigerator.

Macaroni salad is ready to be devoured with Chapati, some garlic bread or just like that.

I was inspired by The Punekar thanks to Sapna Sarfare. 

Let me know did you like it and what personal twist did you guys give to this recipe.

A perfect summer salad on a hot summer day.
