Watermelon is a seasonal fruit, very juicy and with a very special flavor. Generally, it is used to prepare fruit cocktails or refreshing drinks; however, this exquisite red fruit has much more potential. If you like watermelon but want to try it in dishes with more exotic combinations, these recipes will surprise you:

Cold Watermelon and Tomato Soup 

This tropical version of Spanish gazpacho is full of antioxidants. Although the recipe indicates that it should be strained, you can leave the soup whole and add some watermelon cubes to give the dish more texture.

Watermelon and Feta Cheese Salad

This is a very fresh savory dish that requires no cooking. Watermelon and feta cheese make an explosive combination on the palate, but if you are hesitant to try it, you can use panela instead of feta. Don't forget to season with the vinaigrette.

Watermelon Frosting 

Forget about strawberry frosting; today is all about watermelon. You can use this recipe to create different combinations in your desserts: vanilla bread, cream filling, and watermelon frosting, or strawberry bread, cream cheese filling, and watermelon frosting. What do you think?

Spicy Watermelon Cubes with Fresh Cheese 

If you like aguachile, you will love this recipe. To better integrate the flavors, we suggest letting the preparation rest for a couple of minutes before serving. These cubes can be a tasty snack or accompany a main fish dish.

Red Sorbet

This dessert can be the perfect touch to end an elegant dinner at home. Make sure to remove all the seeds from the watermelon to avoid surprises. If you don't have champagne, you can use a sparkling rosé wine.

Crazy Watermelon 

Offer your guests a healthier snack option than a platter of fried snacks and chicharrones. Carefully cut the watermelon so that you can place the rest of the food inside it. Don't remove too much pulp; otherwise, you won't be able to insert the skewers.

Watermelon and Jícama Salad

The combination of watermelon and jícama will keep you refreshed all day, as these two foods are primarily made up of water. If you can't find shallots, you can use a bit of onion instead. We assure you that after trying some of these recipes, you will never look at watermelon the same way again. Which combination are you most tempted to try?
