SUMMER SALAD /WATERMELON-SWEETCORN SALAD
Salads are the best part of my everyday menu. Without salads, our meals are not completed. A salad plate not only adds colour but also freshness and nutrition. As summer approaches gradually, the cool fruits and vegetables are being loved to eat.
Watermelon, cucumber, and tomatoes are incredible to leave a cool effect on the stomach. I love to include broccoli in my diet, so this is a must-added veggie to this salad. Corn kernels are blanched and cooled before adding to this salad. The dressing is the ex-factor of this summer salad. Lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and pepper powder make it complete by balancing all the flavors
