Got an endless supply of this quintessential summer fruit? Here are some refreshing new ways to use it up.

Most watermelon sorbets have no actual watermelon in sight! The real deal couldn’t be easier to make.

Add a fresh and juicy crunch to a savory salsa and serve with fish or chicken.

A quick sizzle on a hot grill will develop melon’s natural sugars. Season with balsamic and salt, then finish with a crumbly cheese like feta or chevre.

Like tomatoes, melon is a sensational base for cold soups. Blend with chiles, onion, cucumber and a drizzle of good-quality olive oil.

The delicate crunch of watermelon pairs beautifully with tender shrimp or crab meat. Top with a fresh citrus vinaigrette and gently toss.
