Watermelons are a family favorite and you have elevated this summer salad with that dressing of lemon juice, light soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes. Delicious!

So refreshing Madhu Ma’am… I could have a giant bowl of just mangoes n watermelon… I wouldn’t need anything else…😀
Apart from the onion… I like everything in the salad so i guess i will skip that. The bowl looks so colourful, light n refreshing… n ofcourse healthy!

I am gorging on a bowl of watermelon while reading this blog, Madhuji. Would have made a salad if I had seen it earlier.Do we need to add the soya sauce? Somehow I don’t use it much.

In the summer months I try to go light for my lunch and mostly choose to go with fruit salad. Watermelon and Mangoes remain a part of it almost everytime. Onions I dont prefer to take raw as it smells badly… any alternative to replace onion plz suggest. Mangoes tastes divine and this time my most send yummy mangoes all the way from Bengal and I am enjoying it at the fullest. Such salads are the best choice for the summers and I love it.

Wow, what a refreshing post this is 😅.. During the summer, I prefer to have a light lunch, mainly opting for a vegetable and fruit-baked salad. I always include a mix of various vegetables and pineapple. Although watermelon and mangoes taste amazing, I’ve never tried making them this way. I’m definitely going to give it a try.

Interesting refreshing summer snack/dessert! I love how this recipe maintained the natural flavours of the fruits instead of adding some milk/sugary stuff on it which makes it a healthier option! Love this shared recipe!

Madhu Ma’am, your revitalising watermelon salad must be bursting with vibrant flavours. The refreshing medley of juicy watermelon, succulent mango, crisp cucumber, and a hint of tangy onions, promises a tantalising blend of sweet, refreshing, and zesty elements. I love it and cannot wait to make it. Thank you for the share 🙂

A mouth watering recipe. But I like keeping my fruits and vegetables separate. I love eating mangoes they are my favourite so most of the time I like having it alone so that I can enjoy it the most.
