Bitter Melon (Gourd) Salad: Season 2

This is not the first time I'm making this salad. I posted about this appetizer early this year. Here it is. Click this link to view.  Garden Chef's Needle and Pen: Bitter Melon and Cucumber Salad . I discovered this salad in Yummy Magazine . For this post, I'm featuring a remake of this salad that I prepared last week when Ana Cristina, my younger daughter celebrated her 21st birthday with her friends at home. The salad was not part of my planned menu ( Creamy Potato Salad , Caesar Crusted Crispy Chicken  Strips , Shrimps-on-Wheel and spaghetti, Tin's fave pasta, which Ayana Grace, my eldest daughter, cooked). Spur of the moment decision, however, caused me to make the salad so that  Billy, my husband, would have some veggies. I always make sure there's vegetable whenever he is at home.
