National Watermelon Day

We can’t go an entire summer without recognizing our good fruit friend, the watermelon. And what better day than today – National Watermelon Day! The mango and watermelon really have quite a lot in common, so we propose combining these two juicy and tasty fruits for a sweet, summery burst in some of your fav dishes.

Mango & Watermelon Salad

Nothing says summer like a refreshing watermelon salad. We’re all for the classic minty and feta cheese-topped variety, but if you’ve started to have your fill by August, try our tropical mango version. This is an elevated recipe with quite a few ingredients, but you’re really just combining to create a delicious blend of flavors. If you can dice a mango, you’ll be good to go for this recipe!
