Nothing says summer quite like the juicy, refreshing taste of watermelon! Whether you enjoy it by the slice, in a salad, or blended into a cool drink, watermelon is the ultimate summertime treat.
Share your favorite watermelon recipes in the comments—we’re always looking for delicious new ways to enjoy this seasonal staple!
Watermelon Picking Tips:
- Look for a creamy yellow spot (that’s where it sat in the field!)
- Knock on it—if it sounds hollow, it’s ripe
- Choose one that feels heavy for its size
Let’s make a splash this Summer End!
