Watermelon salad recipe (Otai) for hot summer days...

This weekend, I made some 'Salaki meleni' or Watermelon salad or what Tongan's call 'Otai' which is similar to the watermelon salad that I grew up with except that it adds coconut cream and crushed pineapple.

It's really easy to make and neat on a hot summer's day especially if it's been refrigerated or has some ice added to it but here is the general recipe:
 

1 watermelon (adult palm size) scrape out the pulp and juice

1 can of crushed pineapple

1 cup milk/coconut cream (some even add a few tablespoons of condensed milk)

1 can of mixed fruit (or whatever fresh fruit you like in cubes)

1/4 cup sugar to taste (I don't add any)

Stir it all in a big bowl add ice and serve with a spoon. Some even add cream crackers.

Enjoy!
