Simple comfort food recipes to nourish the Soul

July 18, 2007 Health and Nutrition

Watermelon Papaya Salad

I was bragging so much about the wet rainy weather here and how it makes me crave for PakodasJ The Monsoon seems to have taken offence to this and has suddenly disappeared. It’s almost as if summer is back here and 99 out of 100 people are suffering from Flu, including my little one L

To pep our mood from the gloomy weather I made this Watermelon–PapayaSalad.

Watermelons are not in season but thanks again to Reliance Fresh we get most of the things anytime of the year now.

A simple Watermelon–PapayaSalad with Ginger-honey-lemon dressing goes straight to Boise, to one of my favourite Blogs Jugalbandi and to the sensational duo- Bee and Jai for this month’s AFAM
