How did grilled watermelon ever become a thing? The only way to find out is to try it! Start by imagining the caramelized sweetness and a smoky hint. Like grilled pears and other warm fruits, it can go sweet or savory, but we\u2019d want to try this beautiful salad recipe from Chowhound<\/a> with mint and feta cheese.<\/p>\n

? \u00a0Flavors: feta, mint, citrus<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drink it spicy! Chile Watermelon Juice<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Watermelon juice is an essential part of summer memories for many of us in Asia tropics. Remember the fresh (maybe a little water-downed) juice in plastic bags, straw inserted and wrapped with a plastic band? Grown-up versions are a little fancier with unexpected flavors, like this spicy juice recipe from Chitra Agrawal<\/a> combining chile powder and Indian flavors.<\/p>\n

? \u00a0Flavors: chile, lime<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drink it spiked! Basil Watermelon Cooler<\/a><\/h2>\n

We know the flavor of watermelon all too well. When a twist is needed, look to alcohol! There are so many things you can do: be refreshed with cucumbers and lime, floral with St. Germain, fizzy with the bubblies, slushy with blended watermelon chunks, sophisticated with basil and ginger… Get your full home bar on!<\/p>\n

? \u00a0Flavors: basil, ginger<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cook the rinds! Watermelon Rind Soup<\/a><\/h2>\n

To finish off, here\u2019s the best recipe to cook the rinds and not let the watermelon<\/a> go to waste! In Chinese cultures, watermelon rinds are seen as a healthy vegetable to help lose weight and to balance the heat of the summer. When cooked to tender, it has similar texture and taste to common gourds and melons. Pork ribs and ginger slices would be our go-to stock base for a Taiwanese flavor, but try this recipe<\/a> with prawn shells from Chinese Malaysian cook Poh.<\/p>\n

? \u00a0Flavors: prawn, belachan, chili<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pickle it! Chinese Watermelon Rind Pickles<\/a><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s right! Exactly as blogger Jeanette puts it, Chinese people never throw food away<\/em>. Pickling make sense both to make something out of the crunchy texture and to extract more tart flavors for the summer. Pickled rind recipes can range anywhere from sweet and thick to sour and spicy, but Jeanette\u2019s Chinese pickle version<\/a> with sesame oil will really set it apart!<\/p>\n

? \u00a0Flavors: sesame oil, soy sauce<\/p>\n
