Watermelon Salsa Recipe | Easy Dip Recipes

Summer has kicked in. On a loud note. Its sweltering hot as soon as the clock strikes eleven in the morning. And the AC has to chill away at 18 C in the night and only then we manage to grab a wink. Such is the state of affairs here. Sordid. Isn’t it?

The heat only makes cringe at the sight of hot food. We ve bid our adieus to soups and deep fried snacks. Even moong dal ladoos. We are befriending summer elements here. And the first one to shake hands with was the rotund watermelons sitting almost at every nook and cranny in the city. Actually we dint make great friends in the beginning. The watermelons were not as sweet as they looked to be. But by the time we reached our third jolly fella, we had struck pink gold. Sweet, juicy and luscious pink gold. After we got bored enough of all that watermelon cooler, i decided it was time to try something new with the pink gold. And the rest is history exemplified with this salsa.
