3 Things to do with Watermelon!


Hey Folks!

I thought I would share with you three things to do with watermelon so that you had some tricks up your sleeve for those hot summer days.

Cook Once- Speedy Watermelon Popsicles
1. Cut 3/4 inch (2cm) peeled slices of seedless watermelon into 3-inch (8-cm) long triangles.
2. Push a popsicle stick into the wide end of each triangle.
3. Coat top two-thirds of watermelon triangles in unsweetened coconut.

Produce One- Watermelon Punch
1. Process 6 cups (1.5L) cubed, peeled seedless watermelon in a food processor until smooth.
2. In a large pitcher, stir together watermelon puree and 3 cups (750mL) each of cranberry cocktail and club soda.
3. Pour into glasses and garnish with cubes of watermelon.

Produce Two- Watermelon and Feta Salad with Mint
1. Arrange two 1/2 inch-(1 cm) slices peeled seedless watermelon on salad plates.
2. Scatter each portion with 1/4 cup (50mL) crumbled feta.
3. Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of olive oil, 2 tsp (10 mL) torn mint leaves, and a pinch of black pepper.

I hope you all enjoy this recipe and I would love to hear what you think about it! Best Health to you all!
