Quick Salad with Unripe Watermelon


We bought plenty of small sized watermelons during summer as its seasonal here in India. Unfortunately one was white hardly we could see any red color in it. Left in fridge for couple of days to decide to make something with it than throwing it away. Thought of blending and making some kind of juice but then made my mind to make a refreshing salad as its summer. It tasted a bit like cucumber though not sweet. I cut them into small pieces and removed the seeds before preparing the salad. You can top it up with any green vegetables you have such as bell peppers, mint or basil, lettuce etc. I only had tomato and some fresh coriander leaves so used that.

Ingredients:
  1. Watermelon - 1 bowl - cut and seedless
  2. Tomato - Large 1 - Cut in halves and remove the pulp , then slice or chop.
  3. Coriander leaves - a bunch finely chopped
  4. Salt - as per taste
  5. Chaat masala - 1 tb spn
  6. Cumin seeds - crushed 1/4 tb spn
  7. Honey - 1/2 tb spn (optional)
  8. Lime juice - 1/2 tb (optional)
Preparation:
  1. In a large bowl, put the cut watermelon, tomato and coriander leaves along with any other vegetables chosen.
  2. Sprinkle all other ingredients mix and toss nicely. Taste for seasoning and add if required.
  3. Refrigerate for 15 - 30 minutes and serve chilled.
