WATERMELON MINT & FETA SALAD

Refreshing and delicious. This is exactly what this salad is. I love how juicy watermelons are, this makes them perfect for the hot weather especially when you find drinking water is boring. I have been loving Feta Cheese and so I decided to add them into a salad. The flavors of mint add a touch of freshness and vibrant colors.

ORANGE BANANA WATERMELON FRUIT SALAD

Nothing beats fresh vibrant fruits filled with lots of crispiness and sweetness. A fruit salad is a dish consisting of various kinds of fruit, sometimes served in a liquid, either in their own juices or a syrup. When served as an appetizer or as a dessert, a fruit salad is sometimes known as a fruit cocktail or fruit cup. There are a number of home recipes for fruit salad that contain different kinds of fruit, or that use a different kind of sauce other than the fruit's own juice or syrup. Common ingredients used in fruit salads include strawberries, pineapple, honeydew, watermelon, grapes, and kiwifruit. Various recipes may call for the addition of nuts, fruit juices, certain vegetables, yogurt, or other ingredients. One variation is a Waldorf-style fruit salad, which uses a mayonnaise-based sauce. Other recipes use sour cream (such as in ambrosia), yogurt or even mustard as the primary sauce ingredient. A variation on fruit salad uses whipped cream mixed in with many varieties of fruits (usually a mixture of berries), and also often include miniature marshmallows. Rojak, a Malaysian fruit salad, uses a spicy sauce with peanuts and shrimp paste. In the Philippines, fruit salads are popular party and holiday fare, usually made with buko, or young coconut, and condensed milk in addition to other canned or fresh fruit. I love how vibrant and colorful fruit salads are since they incorporate different fruits with their own yummy bright colors. You can make the fruit salad as simple as you like or as complicated as you want. You can even use two fruits or even as many as 10 fruits. Have fun with your fruit salad!
