  I have made this recipe 3 times in the last month. It is absolutely spectacular. The flavours are so unique and complement each other beautifully. Great for a Thai bbq or just for a lunch with friends!

  Absolutely delicious flavours, the amount of chilli is ridiculous though! I made this for my family, it was difficult to appreciate the taste when we were having to gargle water after every mouthful. Will definitely make this again but using just a fraction of the chilli!

  I made this last week and it was a great success and I am not even that keen on watermelon! Heeding previous advice, I halved the amount of chilli. I also used spring onions instead of the red onion which worked well. I am going to try upping the dressing by 50% next time as it wasn't very evident although it did bring out the flavours of the other ingredients well. For a more substantial meal, I think it would be tasty with some thin rice noodles.

  Lovely refreshing salad. I added a little more water melon, salad leaves and pomegranate seeds to bulk out a bit more. Highly recommended.

  This is the first time I have bothered to make a comment but couldn't resist as this meal is incredible! It's easy to make and so unique. It seems like an odd combination but tastes like a 5* meal. Try it!

  Have to disagree with all the positive ratings. I was very disappointed with this recipe. Although it tasted ok, I found the dressing a bit watery and lacking body. I doubt if I will make it again.

  Absolutely delicious. What a great mix of fresh flavours. I made this last night for some friends who were blown away by it. I took note of an earlier comment and halved the chili, which was perfect. We will definitely be making this one again.
