  2. Cut it into cubes to create a fruit salad.
  3. Blend it into a hydrating watermelon smoothie.
  4. Create watermelon popsicles by freezing chunks with a popsicle stick.
  5. Add it to your favorite summer cocktails for a sweet twist.

10 Delicious Ways to Use Watermelon:

  1. Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint
  2. Watermelon Salsa for a zesty appetizer.
  3. Watermelon Sorbet for a cool dessert.
  4. Watermelon and Cucumber Gazpacho for a refreshing soup.
