Of course, you can just cut the watermelon into wedges and eat it - it's very tasty and refreshing. But there are 7 more fun ways to use this giant berry on your table!
1. Fruit basket
The thick peel of this melon culture will allow you to make an original decoration for your summer table!
Using a sharp knife, cut out the two sides so that you get a basket with a handle, as in the photo. Gently scrape the pulp using, for example, a measuring spoon - it has very sharp edges, and you will get neat balls - and put it in a bowl. Cut other fruits into small cubes to taste, mix with watermelon balls and drizzle with lemon juice and honey to taste. Transfer the fruit salad back to the prepared watermelon and place it on the table! Guests will certainly be pleasantly amazed by your imagination.
2. Watermelon lemonade
The sun is baking out in the street and you want something refreshing … For example, a glass of ice-cold watermelon lemonade!
Just take a few cubes of watermelon pulp and crush them with a crush. Place in a glass jug, add ice and pour over lemonade.
3. Simple ice cream
Did you know that watermelon is ideal for making sorbet and fruit ice? And all thanks to the high water content in the berry. Therefore, the time has come to join the preparation of a refreshing delicacy, especially since it is done "once or twice"!
We puree the watermelon in the processor, add a little lemonade, yogurt or juice, pour it into popsicle molds and send it to the freezer. After about an hour, when the mixture "grasps" slightly, stick the sticks into the ice cream and leave until it hardens!
4. Sweet sandwiches
Would you guess using a watermelon … instead of bread? No, no, putting pieces of fragrant "Doctor's" on it and pouring them with spicy tomato sauce, of course, is not worth it, but greasing it with cream or curd cheese and putting a layer of berries and / or caramelized nuts on top is a completely different matter, you must agree!
5. Salsa with watermelon
This berry perfectly sets off the hot chilli pepper, so feel free to add it to Mexican cuisine. In salsa, for example.
6. Watermelon + alcohol
Watermelon or its juice will be a pleasant addition to your favorite cocktail! Try this "seasonal" version of "Mojito"! However, even simply diluting vodka with ice watermelon juice, you will get a wonderful combination!
7. Edible figurines
The final idea will be especially appreciated by children.
Take the pulp of a watermelon, peel and cut out funny little men, starfish and crabs, flowers, stars. The kid will like such a healthy treat more than any purchased lollipops!
