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

Watermelon Papaya Salad recipe
_____________________________________________________
1 small watermelon– red flesh cut into bite sized pieces (or scoop out the flesh into small balls) – (~3 cups of pieces)
1 small Papaya cut into bite sized pieces (or scooped into balls)
For the dressing:
- Mix all the ingredients for the dressing.
- In a bowl add the watermelon papaya pieces. (If you have the time and patience you can scoop out the watermelon and papaya flesh into small balls. It looks much better)
- Pour the dressing over the watermelon-papaya pieces and toss gently till they are evenly coated.
- Chill and serve.
