It is almost inevitable that we pick up a giant watermelon for the neighborhood picnic or for the family on a hot summer day. As refreshing and delicious as watermelon is, after a few days, we always seem to end up with more than we need. I’ve created a few savory recipe ideas for you, once the watermelon begins to lose its novelty. Consider blending your leftover watermelon (and other veggies) into an entree style gazpacho or roasting it to make a watermelon “tuna” poke bowl. Because I felt guilty tossing the rinds, I also came up with a pretty delicious way to enjoy the rinds quick pickled as well, to preserve for many more months to come! Hope you enjoy these zero-waste watermelon ideas for the summer!
