Throw in some interaction, suggestion, ideas with a new blogger it will be added fun giving us all a chance to visit others space and going through it fully."

This month I am paired with Priya Sreeram of BON APPETIT !! Her blog has numerous delightful dishes like 7up rice, delicious and sinful potato Halwa, and one of my favourite Garlic Butter...ohhhh I am drooling here..while I was browsing her blog straightaway I hooked on one dish purposely..:-D
although I wanted to make rice dishes, halwa and garlic butter !!

Lately I have been indulging in so many calorie loaded foods, that sadly I am announcing today my weighing scale doesn't listen me and it's gone up and up..so thought of going back to healthy treats and a bit more exercise..so I chose to make Watermelon and Assorted Salad..already I had whole big watermelon and light mozzarella cheese in my fridge, Made little bit of change and availability of ingredients..taste was awesome and it was so filling..

The changes was instead of Chinese salad I used steamed kale coz just yesterday my next door neighbour gave me a bag full of Kale. Also I used Pumpkin seeds instead of sesame seeds. And preparing wise I cut my watermelon with cookie cutter and did not grate mozzarella cheese but cut it with cookie cutter too ..

You will need:-

• Watermelon - 500g cut into cubes ( I used cookie cutter )
• Kale leaves 150g (washed & sliced roughly)
• Fresh Mint Leaves - handful (chopped roughly)
• Red Onion - 1 chopped
• Lemon Juice- 1 tbsp or to taste
• Black Olives - a fistful (pitted)
• Pepper Powder - to taste
• Light Mozzarella Cheese -  cubed
• Olive Oil - 1 to 2 tbsp
• Pumpkin seeds toasted - a fistful -

Method:-
Steam washed kale leaves for 4-5 minutes and let it cool. ( I left them in iced water for 5 minutes to keep crispy ).
Place all the ingredients except pumpkin seeds in a salad bowl. When you are ready to serve sprinkle pumpkin seeds to give a little crunch to salad.
Toss it with a fork and enjoy this healthy and hearty salad.

see in no time your share will be gone !
