Celebrate Watermelon Day (8/3) With These Recipes & WTRMLN WTR
I love watermelon so when I found out there is a day to celebrate this delicious fruit I was thrilled. I received an email recently from the folks at WTRMLN WTR. Have you heard of them? Before this email I had not, WTRMLN WTR is Beyoncé’s line of original cold-pressed watermelon juice. To me this sounds absolutely delicious! If you like watermelon as much as I do, I’m sure you’ll enjoy these recipes to help you celebrate Watermelon Day!
As you know, watermelon is wonderfully versatile, lending itself to both sweet and savory and shape-shifting between solid and liquid. WTRMLN WTR has compiled these recipes that show off the melon’s many qualities. I am excited that they have allowed me to share these recipes and their pictures with you. Enjoy!
