I was invited to a dear friend's place for dinner one evening and she always surprises me with quick and tasty salads each time! This time was no different as I dived into a bowl of fresh, cool and lip-smacking watermelon salad. A blessing in disguise was it was absolutely easy and quick to make and can add that dash of colour to your dining table the next time you prop it! Here goes the quick recipe:
