The Best Watermelon Recipes for Summer
Does it even feel like summer without a juicy watermelon? Each summer, my husband picks out the best watermelon with his Southern tried-and-true way of slapping it. As soon as we get home and that knife cuts through the watermelon rind, my kids are there begging and anxiously waiting for their slice. And while they might eat watermelon sliced all day, every day, it’s nice to switch it up and create new things for them to try. Here are some of the best watermelon recipes to try this summer.
Watermelon Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is a favorite drink in my house during the summer, and watermelon is the obvious choice for a snack. What better way to combine these two classic favorites? Not only is the drink beautiful, but it’s also hydrating and provides a refreshing relief on those hot summer days. Pioneer Woman’s Watermelon Sweet Tea is an obvious winner.
