Think outside of the box this holiday with my fun 4th of July Watermelon recipes!
Hi guys!
I know I've been all watermelon all the time here on Running in a Skirt, but I sincerely can't get enough of it this time of year. The flavor just screams summertime and makes me happy just thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one! In fact, one of these recipes is THE most popular recipe on the site right now. I'll spill the detail on which one below.
So in honor of the upcoming holiday, I put together my all-time favorite watermelon recipes. Sure, you can eat it plain... but this delightful 4th of July Watermelon recipes will bring a new level of fun to your next summer meal. Serve them at a party, a beach house, or just for your family. I promise they will all be a hit.
From homemade salsa, popsicles, and nice cream... this roundup is basically my love affair with the best summer fruit. Enjoy!
Fun 4th of July Watermelon Recipes
5 Ingredient Watermelon Salsa
This salsa is so yum, unique and addictive. It's seasoned with fresh lime and cilantro and gets a kick from fresh jalapeno. Serve with chips... but don't blame me if you can't stop at one.
Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad
This is the quintessential 4th of July watermelon dish with all the festive colors! It's a hit at any party I serve it at and is the most popular recipe on my site right now by far.
4 Ingredient Watermelon Mint Nice Cream
Summer nice cream doesn't get more fun than this. This fun treat only looks indulgent but is guilt-free, vegan, and totally clean eating.

This Watermelon Mint Smoothie is so refreshing and hydrating. You'll love the fun spin on a classic. For some extra holiday, fun add some rum... especially if you are at the beach.

Break out the popsicle molds for this fun and festive summer treat. My version is guilt-free and delish.

I was at an event yesterday, and they had watermelon, so of course I helped myself to a little (even though I was stuffed) and it was AMAZING. Now I am TOTALLY ready for some watermelon goodness!
