watermelon lettuce salad /marudhuskitchen

One of the satisfying and refreshing meal Iam keen on nowadays especially during this summer days are salads! that too my liking to fruit dominant salads is at its peak.Eating salads has many advantages!you are getting a bag full of essential nutrition with less calorie intake and more fibre.More fibre is very essential for a healthy lifestyle of- course each salad is made different(I mean combinations of veggies,fruits and other items). This watermelon lettuce salad is a simple salad but these selected combo of fruits makes all the difference and tastes great when chilled.As I have already mentioned in my earlier posts!this scorching summer urges me to make and try different types of salads and it’s always super freshening to have it.There is no exact strict measurements that you should follow while adding combo of fruits!you can change according to your own need.If you want your lettuce to be crunchy soak it in ice cold water for some time before adding it to the salad.I have used country cucumber that is locally available here but you can use normal cucumbers that are available in your area.
