The Group: Foodies_Redoing Old Posts

It is unbelievable that we’re into the 84th redoing old posts. I have missed a few but have been in this group since the beginning. If it were not for Renu’s initiative to begin this group, I might not have been able to redo so many of my old posts. Along with us Renu who blogs at Cook With Renu,  gets her posted too updated.

This summer I took full advantage of the sweet watermelons available in the markets. Not only did I enjoy the fruit on its own but was able to redo some of my old posts. This Watermelon Cucumber Salad had horrible photos. Also added Watermelon Dressing to the existing post.

Ingredients Required For Watermelon Cucumber Salad

• Watermelon – removed the rind and chop the watermelon into cubes.
• Cucumber – I prefer using English or Persian Cucumber as the skin is thin and they don’t have those hard seeds.
• Salad Leaves – choose any salad leaves of your choice. Mixed, arugula, lettuce, romaine, spinach, etc.
• Mint Leaves – use fresh ones for full summery flavour.
• Onion – Peeled and sliced. Use any of your choice, red, white or yellow. If you want to, you can marinate the onion slices in the watermelon vinaigrette.
• Feta Cheese – crumbled, cubed. Can replace it with halloumi if you want to. Allow the halloumi to roast in some oil before adding to the salad.
• Olive Slices – can add whole ones if you want to. I prefer the sliced ones. Use any olives of your choice.
• Walnuts – or any other nuts of your choice. Roast them lightly on a pan or in the microwave oven for 40-60 seconds.

For The Dressing:

• Fresh watermelon juice – make sure you buy enough watermelon for both the salad and the dressing.
• Honey/ Maple Syrup – use any of your choice. I have maple syrup at hand so I’ve used that.
• Vinegar/ Lemon Juice – use any you wish. I have used lemon juice.
• Olive Oil –
• Salt – add according to your taste.
• Pepper Powder – add according to your taste.
