Watermelon is so good in the summer and is delicious on its own…
but it is also wonderful ingredient in summer recipes~
You can even have it in a cocktail!
Let’s start with salad
In this Spinach & Watermelon Summer Salad, salad pictured above,
watermelon is paired with strawberries, pine nuts,
crumbled feta or blue cheese and tossed with a mild vinaigrette
This Pina Colada Fruit Salad is so refreshing and light,
and features watermelon with pineapple, other summer fruits,
and dressed with a drizzle of coconut cream and shredded coconut
Tropical Summer Fruit Spears are an easy,
kid friendly side dish or snack
You can serve them plain or
drizzled with a light vinaigrette and topped with
chopped macadamia nuts
Grilled chicken is wonderful topped with Watermelon Salsa
The salsa is made with watermelon, cucumber, onion, mint,
lime juice and brown sugar
It also is great on Chicken Nachos!
Cool off this summer with a Watermelon Cocktail
Mix Bacardi Tropical Rum with diced watermelon and a splash of water
and sip away!
Put watermelon on your shopping list this week!
