Recipes: Now That's Using Your Melon

Watermelon is called “the smile of summer,” and certainly smiles abound when watermelon is served.

Enjoy the classic ice-cold slice of watermelon, but later branch out to try various recipes. If you keep in mind that watermelon combines well with the complementary flavors of lime, mint, and ginger, you might well invent recipes of your own. Furthermore, all parts of a watermelon are edible – flesh, seeds, and rind. (Note: the thin green part of the rind is tough and bitter, so better to compost it than to eat it.)
