Watermelon recipes offer refreshing summer food and drink ideas

Various watermelon-based recipes offer refreshing options for summer, ranging from beverages to creative desserts.

A simple pink juice can be prepared in five minutes by extracting the juice from 250g of watermelon and half a lime, then serving it with mint leaves.

For a more elaborate dessert, watermelon can be served as a 'watermelon pizza.' This involves slicing a large, cold watermelon into a 3cm thick round, topping it with thick Greek yogurt, various fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi, and garnishing with pistachios, honey, and mint.
