Woahh, this bitter lemon looks so interesting! Looks good, it would be a great dish to serve because it's quite unusual, but great for the warmer summer weather :)

I love bitter melon with black bean sauce. This salad with lemon and sesame sounds delicious! I will have to give it a try.

We usually have bitter melon with black bean sauce at home. I never diversify myself with bitter melon. Looks something to explore.

I rarely eat bitter gourds. Normally I eat it with fish cakes and peanut sauce;). Another version that I like is to eat it with spicy stir-fried shrimps.

They're so cute! ;) I don't think I've ever seen bitter melon here in Az. But I'll keep an eye out for them. Thx for the health info. Also for the great feedback on Simply Healthy Family.

Bitter gourd is one of my husband's favorite vegetable but for some reason, I can't ever cook it to his liking! Maybe I should try your salad and I'm sure both hubby and I will love it!

I am ok with this salad but kids will not appreciate it. A healthy and refreshing salad. You too have a great Easter day.

You know my mom loves stirfried bitter melon but I could never stand it except fried with a lot of eggs. With yummy sesame dressing though, I'm ready to give it another chance.

Thanks for all the comments.

@Biren and @Victor: I've never tried bitter melon with black bean sauce. Something for me to explore.

@Cooking Gallery: Bitter melon with fish cakes and peanut sauce? That's interesting too.

wahaaa I missed this post! I dont know you cook bitter melon, we call it Paria here in Indo. Its has lots of health benefit but I dont always dare to eat it- I cant stand the bitter taste of it hahah so I always buy cooked bitter melon instead cooking it myself. Here, they use turmeric,red union,garlic,chili pepper,hazelnut,sugar and of course salt- all blended then cooked with 2 ts of coconut oil and water. They also soak the bitter melon into water mixed with whiting first to reduce the bitter before cooking it,so they told me. Well I just note it but never tried to cook it tho hehehe. I thought maybe you might want to try it with Indo recipe:)

@gourmetorange: I haven't heard of bitter melon with pork ribs. That's something new to me. Thanks for your comment.

@Dita: How are you doing? Thanks for dropping by. The Indo recipe sounds delicious with those great ingredients. I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
