National Watermelon Day is Aug. 3, and though it’s not a nationally celebrated holiday, midsummer is the perfect time to enjoy a recipe or two featuring the fruit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Watermelon is a sweet and refreshing<\/a> addition to a summer day, whether eaten by itself or mixed with a larger recipe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fruit consists of almost all water, making it healthy and good for you.<\/p>\n

Share with friends, family and pets but be cautious of seeds and rind.<\/p>\n

Watermelon is very highly concentrated with water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because of this, the texture of the fruit is crunchy and crumbles when it’s bitten into. Watermelon can be both sweet and sour and sometimes even a little bitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because of the variety of flavors watermelon offers, it pairs well with a number of other foods, seasonings and herbs.<\/p>\n

While the texture may prove a little difficult to work with because of its spongelike absorbancy, the fruit tastes good with sweet, salty and savory pairings.<\/p>\n

Some of the most delicious items to pair watermelon with include the following:<\/p>\n

The short answer is yes, you can give your dog watermelon<\/a> as a snack, and it is safe for dogs to eat. You should be aware, however, of a few things before doing so.<\/p>\n

IF YOU’RE NOT SALTING YOUR WATERMELON, APPARENTLY YOU’RE EATING IT WRONG<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Remove all seeds and all signs of watermelon rind before feeding watermelon to your pet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seeds can cause intestinal blockage and rind can cause gastrointestinal upset, according to the American Kennel Club.<\/p>\n

Just as with any other human food, dogs should only receive watermelon in moderation.<\/p>\n

Watermelon contains fiber and potassium,<\/a> which are beneficial for both digestive and gut health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In one cup of watermelon, there is 1.5 times the lycopene present compared to a large fresh tomato, according to the USDA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lycopene is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant found in red fruits and vegetables, giving them their ruby color.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carotenoids are considered nature’s food coloring, have zero downsides and are healthy all the time, according to the Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>\n

Choosing the ripest, sweetest and tastiest fruit or vegetable isn’t always easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sometimes after you’ve purchased produce that appears and feels ripe you find it is actually neither.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s disappointing to cut into a piece of fruit and find it’s dried out, molded or flavorless.<\/p>\n

When choosing watermelon, you’ll want to beware of the texture of the skin, the weight and the color of the field spot.<\/p>\n

For the texture of the skin, look for any lumps or bumps that may look off-putting. If the skin surrounding the fruit appears funky, avoid this watermelon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You’ll want to choose a watermelon with a smooth, beautifully green skin surface.<\/p>\n

5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT WATERMELON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When considering watermelon, compare fruits of similar sizes \u2014 and go with the heavier one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The heavy watermelon will be the ripest.<\/p>\n

Lastly, locate the field spot on the watermelon. The field spot is where the watermelon was picked from the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The yellower the field spot, the more ripe your fruit will be.<\/p>\n

Start by chopping two handfuls of kale into bite-sized pieces and lay out on a plate or in a bowl. Dice \u00bd cup of watermelon into pieces about \u00bd inch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cut cucumber into pieces about the same size as the watermelon.<\/p>\n

Dice red onion and include all fruits and vegetables atop the bed of kale.<\/p>\n

HOW TO CHOOSE A RIPE WATERMELON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Top the bed of lettuce and vegetables with \u00bc cup of crumbled feta cheese.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slice fresh mint and basil and sprinkle atop the salad. Drizzle with olive oil and honey and a pinch of both salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n

For additional flavor and a portion of protein, include grilled or blackened chicken.<\/p>\n

Begin by draining one can of tuna and adding it to a medium-sized bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dice watermelon and cucumber and add to the bowl. Finely chop red onion and include in the bowl. For less of a spicy flavor and more sweet aromas, substitute shallots for red onion.<\/p>\n

Include one tablespoon of mayo, two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper into the mixture and use a spoon to combine all ingredients.<\/p>\n

Serve over a bed of lettuce or between slices of toasted bread for a tuna salad sandwich.<\/p>\n

Begin by combining watermelon, tequila, lime juice<\/a> and agave in a blender and blend until smooth.<\/p>\n

For a frozen margarita, include 1-1.5 cups of ice in the blender and blend until combined.<\/p>\n

Rim a margarita glass with black salt and fill with the margarita mixture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Garnish the edge of the glass with a lime slice and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
