Did YOU KNOW?
Watermelon can be good for your dental health!
First off, Watermelon is rich in fiber, which acts as a sort of natural toothbrush and can give your teeth a good scrubbing while you chew. This helps prevent the buildup of dental plaques and lowers the risk of tooth decay while also cleaning away food debris and other particles
Watermelon Salsa
Perfect with grilled chicken for tacos or served with salty tortilla chips, this salsa also has enough watermelon left over to make the salad in the recipe above!
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 seedless watermelon
1 large diced mango
1/2 diced red onion
2 zested and juiced limes
1 seeded and diced jalapeno
salt
1/2 c. chopped cilantro
tortilla chips for serving
PROCESS
Begin by slicing the watermelon in half lengthwise, then trimming a little off the bottom so that the melon will sit flush on the table. Next, scoop out the watermelon, but make sure that you don’t scoop through the bottom. When you have the watermelon bits out, go ahead and dice them into small pieces.
Next, put the watermelon, mango, onion, jalapeno, lime juice and zest, a pinch of salt, and cilantro into a mixing bowl so that you can combine them. Last, spoon the salsa into the watermelon bowl and pop the whole thing into the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to mix better. Serve and enjoy!
Watermelon Lemonade
This is a great recipe to go with your leftover fruit. It’s refreshing and great for a hot summer night!
INGREDIENTS:
6 c. chilled cubed seedless watermelon
4 c. cold water
3/4 c. chilled strained lemon juice
2/3 c. sugar (more or less per your taste)
Ice and mint for serving
PROCESS
Begin by putting that chilled watermelon into a blender and puree well. Then pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl, throw away the bits left in the strainer. Next, take your pitcher and whisk together the water, lemon, and sugar until completely dissolved. When the sugar is dissolved, add in the pureed watermelon and stir some more. Taste and adjust sweetness to your preferences.
To serve, pour over ice and mint in individual glasses. If you’re not ready to serve, then chill in the fridge until you’re ready. Don’t add ice until you’re ready to serve or you risk watering down your punch.
