Last year, in the weeks before “the big football game” (trademark issues prevent me from using the official “super” name), I posted a series of dishes here on What About Watermelon that you might choose to whip up to add some watermelon flavor to your party. Long story short, I’m doing the same thing this year.
I’ll kick off our recipe series (a new recipe each Sunday) with an easy one. And yes, I chose this recipe mainly because it’s simple to make and versatile. Feel free to add all sorts of goodies to the mix.
