10 Best Watermelon Recipes For Summer

There’s nothing quite as refreshing as a watermelon on a sunny day. It embodies the feeling of summer without being overly heavy – it’s messy, thirst-quenching, bright, and versatile in main dishes, appetizers, and desserts alike.

1. Watermelon Granita

Watermelon granita is a healthy dessert which is semi-frozen and better than ice cream in the summer. This refreshing snack is like sorbet and slush had a love child, and everyone in the family will appreciate it on hot days. Paired great with honey or flavored syrups.

2. Watermelon Balsamic Skewers

We’ve all heard of kabobs for summers, but have you heard about making watermelon salad skewers? This Pinterest friendly and delicious appetizer is light and has a zesty edge thanks to the balsamic.

3. Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Wedge Salad

Watermelon and feta are an unlikely match made in heaven, and when transformed into this modern wedge salad with tomatoes and cucumbers, it’s one that will be sure to leave everyone cutting second slices. Serve on a large wooden board as a starter with drinks.

4. Watermelon Fruit Leather

While fresh watermelon has a refreshing crunch that is hard to emulate, this mildly sweet and hydrating fruit is also fantastic when dehydrated into fruit leather for the ultimate nibbling snack or school lunchbox dessert.
