Kakdi With Watermelon Salad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBwWmNlyS9k
Summer's approaching fast. My thirst for fast quenchers and hunger for salads has increased. I am not sitting idle about my body's demands. I ensure that whatever I make, I make it for the Mister as well and he is a sucker for salads!
He doesn't like taking salads when we eat out for various obvious reasons as we are in a country like India where hygiene is a thing of the past!!! Both of us are freaking out with such crunchy salads at home with a very light dressing over it.
The salad dressing is everything that you would find in your shelves:-
Olive oil,Honey, pepper powder, a nice squeeze of lime, chilly flakes and salt (mix n match the quantity as per your desire) I have used the street cucumbers that one finds our vendors selling on the street carts in India called Kakdi.
Personally, it is not one of my favourites but the husband insists that I crunch on this from time to time. He is so vigilant that I keep my health intact and never die on him :) I am so blessed! It may sound selfish but I know it is that mutual love, respect and hindsight that we have for one another that keeps us ticking!
So Kakdis it was for this salad, shaved them with the help of my peeler and diced a few watermelon chunks as well. How Cool is that!! Look at that simple colour combo. Along with this dressing, it was a match made in my kitchen.
Guess who gobbled it down? Ha Ha, the Mister himself, I made myself some more and added a few almonds as well. Have it fresh or use the cold fruit and veggie and have it cold. Do not let it rest for long as a lot of water will ooze out from the Kakdis themselves.
Enjoy! Do enjoy the lovely song I have added at the top along with the recipe...nothing like loving your woman?
