Salad on a stick

Last saturday few friends came over for dinner , since i had cooked a big indian meal for main course i wanted to keep the starters easy and light. So along with my all time hit chilly chicken i went with a 'salad on stick' (inspired from here)

For my version of salad on stick, i used

Cheese cube - i used amul cheese cubes cut into four
Olives - pitted
Guava - cubed
Watermelon- cubed
Basil leaves - cleaned , stalk removed




I prepared all the ingredients and left it in fridge, just before the serving time , i assembled it in  skewers and with a dash of tabasco sauce & pepper , it was ready to be served.







P.S.

Dont prepare the skewers in advance, cheese cubes are likely to break and crumble when left in skewers in for long period.

Clean basil , let it dry on paper towel and put it in ziploc bag in freeze, leaves tend to turn dark when left with moisture.

  1. My mouth is salivating just looking at this - so yum! Love watermelon with just about anything, but never would have thought to pair it with olives!

    1. Thanks 'Purple Dreamer', this is the best part you can play around with any combination , any in season fruit, just keep in mind the elements of texture & flavors, have fun experimenting :)

  4. Terrible presentation. There's ways to put things on sticks and this is not it. I hope you didn't serve this to guests.
