Biting into a slice of sweet, juicy watermelon is one of the most satisfying feelings you can experience on a hot day. And these simple watermelon recipes prove the fruit is also a versatile, superstar ingredient in the kitchen.
Its sweetness pairs perfectly with salty cheeses like feta in fresh salads, you can throw it on the grill, and it’s delicious in smoothies and cold soups.

This is all great news since watermelon’s health benefits extend way beyond hydration. It contains more potassium than bananas (hello, electrolytes!), plenty of cancer-fighting lycopene, and compounds that may even boost your sex life (yes, please).
