Small Pieces

If you like cutting your watermelon into smaller pieces before eating it, you should also consider storing it this way, especially if you have a pretty small fridge. You can place your slices into an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to three to four days.

Large Pieces

If you think that watermelon losses its sweetness after being cut into smaller slices, you probably prefer cutting it into halves or quarters. You can also store it this way if your fridge is large enough, just make sure to put some plastic wrap on top so it won’t pick up odors.

Freezing Watermelon

Watermelon won’t be in season for too long, but what if you want to eat it once the summer is over? You can freeze smaller slices and use them to make smoothies, ice cream, and popsicles, but keep in mind they’ll be too soft and mushy to be eaten after being defrosted.

Mustard on Watermelon

If we had to pick the most popular watermelon trend that’s showing up everywhere this summer, mustard on watermelon would make the cut. Everyone from celebrities to your next-door neighbor tried it at some point, and watching reaction videos is pretty amazing.

Watermelon Slicer

Slicing watermelon is pretty much an art form of its own, and we all have our own way of doing it. Elaborate watermelon slicing videos are all the rage on TikTok and some of them have one thing in common: the best-selling slicer from Amazon that will slice your watermelon into small cubes.

Watermelon Pizza

If the mustard and watermelon combo doesn’t sound wild enough for your taste, watermelon pizza is just the thing you need in your life. Putting traditional savory pizza toppings is the best way to recreate the beloved Italian dish, but sticking to sweet toppings is also an option if you don’t want to go overboard.

While it might seem strange at first glance, there are many fruits that can be enjoyed in a different way by putting salt onto them. It’s actually a delicacy in some places, such as Southeast Asia and the American South.

Here are some fruits that you should try salting the next time that you eat them.

Watermelon

One of the classic fruits that can be enjoyed along with salt is watermelon. Try adding a sprinkle of salt to this popular summer fruit. Salt, paradoxically, brings out the sweetness in a slice of watermelon and makes it all the more delicious.

Pineapple

Pineapple is another fruit that you can try putting a bit of salt on. Some people prefer to do this fresh, while others like it on a grilled piece of pineapple. Either way, you can’t go wrong. If you’re really looking to go crazy, add a bit of chili powder too!

Kiwi

Kiwi is one of the fruits that many people don’t know can taste great with a bit of salt on it. Love sweet, sour, and spicy together? Kiwi is the perfect proof that this trinity of flavors goes perfectly together.

In some parts of the world, watermelon season has already begun. But, even if it’s still chilly where you are, it’s never too soon to begin thinking about how you’re going to use this delicious and hydrating melon. Check out the recipes below and get the most flavor out of watermelon season.

Watermelon Salad

There is almost nothing more refreshing than the combination of watermelon and mint. This salad is perfect for BBQs or just dinner outside. To vamp up this recipe even more, add some baked prosciutto for a crispy salty element. Squeeze over some lime juice and add peanuts and you’re ready to serve.

Pickled Watermelon Rind

Don’t let any of your watermelon go to waste! This recipe is a classic southern side dish that can be used like any other pickled condiment in salads or on burgers and hot dogs. Each recipe calls for different variations of timing and boiling, but mostly all will involve water, sugar, salt, and various pickling spices.

Watermelon With Salt

Although it sounds odd, adding salt to plain watermelon will actually bring out the sweetness of the fruit. Even just a pinch will help, so try it the next time you cut up a melon.
