Green Apple Watermelon Salad

Green Apple Watermelon Salad 

Lets face it 40C is too much of heat. I am ready to migrate to a cooler place and understand why in the old times some would have Summer homes in the hills . This temperature has suddenly led to my craving of fresh tangy food. I mean I am craving tangy taste but with a fresh crunch. Sarani from Back to Basics had posted this refreshing Watermelon Avocado salad. Well it was just so summery. I  replaced the avocado with green apples mostly because I am not a huge fan of avocados, added my own ingredients and there was this refreshing summer salad indeed .

What you need for 1 serving :-

1 green Apple
1 cup of cubed de-seeded water melon
2 tbsp soft feta
Freshly ground black pepper as per taste
Salt as per taste
A drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Simply cut the green apple in cubes like the watermelon. Mix everything and enjoy a healthy summery tangy salad.

Melon Smoothie

Melon Smoothie

Well when its hot and you feel tired all the time there is nothing like a refreshing healthy drink. On these hot summer days when you have a tall glass of refreshing drink to quench your thirst while you get to enjoy the delightful taste its a match made in heaven. Water melon and muskmelon both have high water content and so a smoothie  with these two fruits makes a delightful summer drink. The best way to ensure that your smoothie is chilled is to keep the fruits in the refrigerator and chill them well before blending them since adding ice does dilute the flavour.

Here is what you need :-

Serves 1

1.5 cups of diced water melon
1/2 cup of diced musk melon

Simply blend together and relax with a tall glass of Summer delight. I have to admit that I am a fruit fanatic and love most fruits but in case you are not you may add honey for extra sweetness or to jazz things up you can add some Chaat masala as well.
