Just thinking about watermelon makes my mouth water. It’s one of our favorite fruits at home. We love to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or as a refreshing snack. We also love to include it in salads, aguas frescas, with chile, lemon and salt or in a fruit cocktail. I usually buy it and slice it right away so it’s ready in my fridge. That saves me some time while cooking because with just opening the fridge I can offer a quick snack for my kids. A fun and delicious way to eat watermelon is in skewers. The best part? Your kids get to help you prepare them: they can choose other fruits to combine it with or what dip to use. Here’s the recipe I use.
