10 Surprising Reasons Why You Should Love Watermelons

Oh My! Delicious Watermelon Recipes

If you feel, as we do, that the watermelon-feta salad has had its moment, you’ll love this side dish from Kiersten Frase of Oh My Veggies. It has that same sweet-meets-salty spirit, but Frase, who admits she’s not a feta fan, uses kalamata olives to balance the watermelon flavor. A garnish of fresh basil adds just the right amount of brightness.
Toss some cubed watermelon with fresh basil leaves and some halved kalamata olives. If you’re a fan of sweet-and-salty, you will love this salad.

Is your watermelon a wee bit under-ripe? It’s okay! You can fix that! Combine 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and a 2-inch piece of ginger (peeled and sliced into coins) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Once mixture has come to room temperature, pour it through a fine mesh strainer over about 6 cups of cubed watermelon. Stir in zest from one lime and serve.
