Fruit salad is a very quick and healthiest meal/snack anyone would ever have.Have i told you i have never seen this much variety of fruits before coming to US .Wanted to try so many different recipes, tried quite a few fruits like pineapple,strawberry,mango,banana,peach (lassi),cantaloupe (juice) .This fruit salad happened just the previous week ,when i bought a whole watermelon.
Watermelon and Summer are synonym,am i right ? When ever watermelon starts peeping in shops anyone can tell it is officially start of summer.Here in US we get it all year around,its only that it is costly in off season.
There is no need of recipe for a watermelon.A piece of watermelon from fridge is really the energy booster/cooler on a hot summer afternoon,right ?.This summer we got whole watermelon quite a few times and happily eating the cooled slices each and everyday.
Salad is really light meal .also quick to whip up.Some people like salad/fruits for dinner.But its not the case in our house.Idli,dosa or chapathi will be in dinner plates quite often.We people like fruit as a midday meal around 11 or after our lunch.

Tips:
- You can add chopped nuts to make the salad nutty.I added soaked and peeled badam without chopping in my kiddo's share.
- I am just giving reference for the measurement i used.You can add whatever fruits you like/have in the salad.
- If you like sweet salad, then add some honey with lime juice for topping the fresh fruits.
- Mint leaves added a nice aroma and peppy green look to the salad.Its a great plus if you like fresh green.
