As a self-described “watermelon geek,” one of the things I look forward to the most every year is when the National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB) updates its website in January with new recipes and new carvings.
The main reason for my excitement is because I know I’ll be making some of those recipes and carvings throughout the coming year. Below are this year’s new additions. Leave a comment with which recipes and carvings you’d like to see me attempt and post here on the blog in 2014!
NEW RECIPES
Grilled Cheese, Watermelon and Arugula Sandwich (above)
Red Hot Blood Cleanser (drink)
Watermelon and Spicy Mayan Dark Chocolate Fondue
Watermelon Pomegranate Tossed Salad
Lemony Quinoa and Watermelon Salad
Watermelon Raspberry Vinaigrette
Watermelon Rind, Carrot and Pineapple Slaw
Grilled Thai Chicken with Watermelon Rind Chutney
NEW CARVINGS
I think you should try the Flower Vase under new carvings!
i’m going to make some of the salads and dressings – they look yummy!!
Literally ALL of those recipes sound amazing so that’s going to be a tough choice! And the carvings all sound relatively simple so you could actually try them all! do a different one each month or something 🙂
I don’t know about you but I’m definitely going to try Watermelon Raspberry Vinaigrette and a Easter Egg.
I’ll definitely make the flower vase carving, Robyn. Probably all of them at some point this year. Stay tuned!
