CHILLED MELON BALLS SALAD

11:15 AM


“Summer Is Here, Let’s Give it a Big Cheer!”Yesterday was a hottest day and the sun was on full swing. Due to drastic change in weather, I felt little tired. Keeping the weather in mind, I thought of doing something with fruits.Watermelon is a summer fruit, It has plenty of Water and are great way to hydrate. The nature of watermelons is generally rather chilling and contains a great deal of moisture. Did you know that watermelons are 92% water. This salad is quite ideal for weight watchers as it is a good source of potassium, iron and many traces of minerals also. 
 
Nothing surpasses the fragrant, sweet flavor of a ripe melon, but finding a good one can be tricky. Most melons are at their best from early summer. For me, summertime is synonymous with light and refreshing dishes – and this Melon Balls with pepper and lime dressing fits the bill perfectly.  I have  made a simple fruit salad of watermelon, and cut the melon into balls using a melon scooper – then made it so much deliciously better by adding our homemade lime and pepper dressing!
There's nothing better than biting into a juicy piece of fresh watermelon on a hot, summer day. You can incorporated the sweet flavors of this luscious melon into a variety of drinks, salsas, salads, and more that are perfect for any warm-weather gathering also.
