Welcome Summer with These 7 Watermelon Recipes

Summer is officially here, and we’re welcoming it with open arms. Is there anything more wonderful? As novelist Henry James once wrote, “Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” To mark the occasion, we’ve rounded up seven recipes featuring the quintessential fruit of summer: watermelon. From sorbet to salad, margaritas to popsicles, these watermelon recipes are perfect for cooling off on a hot sunshine-filled summer afternoon. We think Henry James would approve.
