Fun Ways to Serve Watermelon
Presented by 719women.com
Watermelon can be diced, sliced, balled or cut into bite size pieces. If you have any leftovers, here are a few simple and quick (and different) recipes to try.
GRILLED WATERMELON
Brush a few thick slices with olive oil, sear on a hot grill for about 5 minutes and then sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
WATERMELON SALSA
Toss together diced watermelon, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno pepper, and a squirt of lime juice for a delicious spin on salsa. I used one slice of watermelon, 1/2 of a cucumber, 1/4 cup of cilantro, half a jalapeno pepper and the juice from half of a lime for this bowl of salsa. You can serve it along with grilled meats, scoop it with chips or just eat it as a salsa “salad”. Very refreshing.
WATERMELON AND CUCUMBER SALAD
This tasted so good and it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients but packs a mouthful of flavor. Add chopped watermelon to a bed of peppery arugula and sprinkle with feta cheese. I added a balsamic vinaigrette to finish it off. Pine nuts would taste great sprinkled on the salad too.
Watermelon should always be washed before serving, in fact, any fruit or vegetable that you cut with a knife should always be washed before cutting because even if you aren’t eating the rind or outer peel, once the knife touches it, it can contaminate the inner flesh if not washed.
