Watermelon is a summer staple. There’s nothing better than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon on a hot summer’s day. Or is there? These refreshing ways to enjoy watermelon will convince you to incorporate watermelon into more of your meals this summer.<\/p>\n

“With summer coming, we’re always looking for a great way to use the fruits of the season; and watermelon is the quintessential fruit of summer,” thinks Philip Hoel<\/a> (Moline, IL<\/a>). “This recipe works very well over say grilled chicken, pork, or even a mild poached fish.”<\/p>\n

Philip’s Spicy Watermelon Salsa<\/a> is a delicious addition to the dinner table. It can be used as a salsa to snack on with tortilla chips. Or, scoop it over a grilled protein. I did that with chicken and loved the sweet and spicy flavor combination. It would be just as good on fish.<\/p>\n

If you need a new summertime salad, you need to add Cheryl Kemptner<\/a> (Palm Desert, CA<\/a>) Redneck Watermelon Summer Salad<\/a> to your menu.<\/p>\n

“Watermelon and pineapple for the most refreshing summer salad you’ll ever make,” shares Cheryl. “So good some folks may eat it for dessert, too!”<\/p>\n

Whether you have it alongside a meal or enjoy it as a dessert, this no-bake treat is fantastic. It’s cool, creamy, and refreshing with chunks of watermelon and pineapple in every bite.<\/p>\n

I love the crunchy texture that the pecans add to the salad. If you’re hosting any cookouts or potlucks, this will be a hit.<\/p>\n

Another salad that’s a little more traditional is Sheri Mullins’<\/a> (Midland, TX<\/a>) Watermelon Summer Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“A light refreshing side dish for the heat of the summer,” is how Sheri explains her recipe. “Our summers here in Texas routinely go over 100 degrees. The last thing I wanted was to heat my kitchen so I came up with this dish by combining a few different recipes. It was a hit!”<\/p>\n

At first, the combination of ingredients had me intrigued, but they all work together. It’s surprisingly fresh and delicious. <\/p>\n

Soaking cucumbers in the vinegar mixture is strong. But once they are mixed with the sweet watermelon and tomatoes it balances flavors out. Feta adds a little bit of salt.<\/p>\n

Karen Baumgarten<\/a> (Tomah, WI<\/a>) says that her Creamy Watermelon Pie<\/a> is “a great pie for the summer months” and I completely agree.<\/p>\n

If you want a fresh, fruity, and sweet no-bake dessert, then you need to make this super creamy watermelon pie. Karen uses a graham cracker crust, but it could easily be switched up with a shortbread crust. <\/p>\n

Looking for a new drink for sipping on by the pool? Donna Graffagnino’s<\/a> Frozen Watermelon Margarita<\/a> is just the recipe you need.<\/p>\n

“This is a delicious summertime treat that’s so easy to make, especially with seedless watermelon,” says Donna. “I use Triple Sec but any orange-flavored liqueur can be used to suit your taste.”<\/p>\n

Freezing the watermelon means you don’t have to add much ice to this summery drink. It’s sweet and full of watermelon flavor with a slight tang from the lime. <\/p>\n

If you’re wondering what you can do with a lot of watermelon, try one of these Blue Ribbon recipes. They’re all super refreshing and delish. Happy Pinching! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
