Who knew that
watermelon was both a vegetable and a fruit. It has all sorts of benefits, such
as vitamin C and A, potassium and dietary fiber, and it tastes wonderful. Since
it’s the height of summer, so what better day to celebrate the watermelon.
First, and maybe
most important, learn how to Pick the perfect watermelon. Once you’ve brought your watermelon home, leave it at room temperature, as that
helps it retain all its vitamins. Chill it just before serving. Wash and dry
the melon before cutting, which reduces any contaminants getting into the
“meat.”
Recipes using watermelon
• Onion, Feta Watermelon Salad: This is my favorite summer salad, even though I use half the
olive oil and red wine vinegar recommended in this recipe. Tastes great with or
without the mint.
• Granita: A
favorite of mine for parties or hot days.
Inspired by the watermelon
• Cookies: The
directions use all store bought items. My recommendation is use your own
recipes for a sugar cookie or shortbread, dying the batter green and using
homemade frosting with a bit of red food coloring.
• Earrings from Polymer Clay: This video is not in English, but the directions are very clear
and easy to follow.
