I am so excited for warm weather! One of the things I'm love about the warmer seasons is having fresh fruits like watermelon and mangos! I love my fruits, but especially watermelon, pineapple, and mangos. I think it's a tropical fruits craze that I go through every summer. I usually like to add a little chaat masala on my watermelon and mangos; and I add Tajin seasoning to fresh pineapple. Try it out; it's definitely tasty.
I remember the last time I had tried a watermelon salad, which was when we went on our trip to Australia a few years ago. We had tried a watermelon salad at this little Italian restaurant in Cairns and it was so delicious. I don't recall exactly how that salad was made or what was it, but one of the main ingredients was watermelon and it had some spice in it. That was pretty much my inspiration to try out this salad. I had mangos and watermelon in the house so I went for it, and we absolutely ended up loving it that I wanted to share my recipe with you.
This watermelon and mango salad is so refreshing and yummy, and the little hint of spice and fresh herbs really adds a nice flavor to it. The juiciness of the watermelon and the tanginess from the mango along with the cucumber and red onions is actually really refreshing. It's also supper easy to make; you can put it together in under 20 minutes! I love this salad even as a refreshing and tasty afternoon snack. Try it out and hope you enjoy!
