Notes
How to choose Watermelon for the Salad
-
- Watermelon should be heavy as compared to it's size. It will have more water content and will be more juicy.
- A naturally ripened watermelon has yellow spot or field spot.
-
- Tap the melon it should give a deep sound. Though it may take some practice to get the sound right. A hollow sound indicates dry and less juicy melon.
- Try to use seedless watermelon or take out seeds. It won't be a pleasant experience biting into the seeds.
- Use chilled watermelon or cube the meon and use it chilled.
- Also, chill the salad before serving. Do not keep it for long before serving. Add dressing half an hour before serving as fresh basil/mint may blacken when kept for long.
