1. Pressed Watermelon with Basil Water
Watermelon juice is the ultimate in refreshing drinks, especially if you want something with a bit more flavor than water plus all the hydration benefits (and no added sugar). This pressed juice is easy to make, all you need to do is squeeze out the watermelon juices and mix it with the other ingredients. It is sure to quench your thirst on a hot day, and it’s so pretty and sweet that even your kids will love it.

2. Melon Wrapped in Prosciutto
Pair anything with prosciutto and you’ve officially got our undivided attention. Melon wrapped with prosciutto is not a new concept, but this dish has been around forever for a good reason: this finger food is so simple, so refreshing and so delicious that everyone loves it. It literally takes 10 minutes and 2 ingredients to make. The hardest part is getting to the market to find fresh prosciutto, and we’re pretty sure you can handle that. Serve this at your next cocktail party, backyard BBQ or even during a quiet night at home.

3. Watermelon Gazpacho with Feta Crema
Gazpacho is the perfect summer soup, mainly because it’s easy to make, perfect to eat on a hot day, and served cold (aka no stovetop or even necessary). This gazpacho recipe takes the level of refreshment up a notch by adding watermelon to the tomato-based soup. The jalapeño pepper adds a little heat, while the feta crema and the almonds add just the right amount of salt and crunch.
