With that being said, there’s a lot of possibilities for consuming watermelon. Here are three ways to use watermelon to make creative treats this summer!

Freeze It

Did you know that watermelon is over 90%, well, water? This means that you can freeze watermelon and create something that will be very similar to a popsicle! Try adding a little bit of lemon juice and sugar to watermelon cubes, and then put a wooden stick inside. Boom, natural watermelon popsicles!

Make a Drink

There are tons of drink possibilities that involve watermelon, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Some of my favorite drinks that use watermelon include watermelon lemonade, vodka watermelon cocktails, and watermelon margaritas.

Grill It

That’s right, you can grill slices of watermelon, and it’s absolutely delicious! My recommendation is to toss a little bit of chili powder on the slices, coat them with olive oil, and then pop them on the grill. It’s a surprisingly delicious side dish.

1. Cut watermelon in half, scoop out the insides, and cube the flesh. Assemble grill at its final location. Use one half of the melon as the grill base, and the other as the lid. Cut off a thin round of rind to make the lid handle. Use toothpicks to attach the handle to the lid.
2. For grill legs, cut cucumbers at an angle at each end. Secure legs with 12-inch skewers. Add lime rounds as wheels to 2 of the legs using toothpicks. Fill the melon with berries to act as ‘coals’. Use about 10 12-inch skewers as grates, cutting off any excess.
3. Place feta, melon, and basil on 6-inch skewers drizzle with balsamic glaze to represent grill marks and add to grill. Stack remaining fruit skewers next to the grill.
