Watermelon smoothie

Recipes with watermelon

One option for enjoying watermelon in the easiest, quickest, and most thirst-quenching way is a smoothie . The ideal fruit to add, in this case, is grapes, and a touch of lime doesn't hurt. The watermelon smoothie, with or without grapes, should be prepared after removing the seeds.

Watermelon granita is also made with a very simple and quick recipe. You only need to add very little to the fruit: lime and cane sugar. And, as always, you only need to forgo the seeds, which you can then use to plant new watermelon plants.

The name suggests Neapolitan pizza, but here it's a whole, wedge-shaped slice of watermelon topped with savory toppings. It's served as an appetizer . The ingredients added to bring watermelon pizza to the table are all natural and give the dish a special flavor: mint leaves, other fruit, Greek yogurt, and honey.
