The BEST Watermelon Recipe for Summer!
Watermelon is just what a body needs to stay hydrated and cool in our nonstop summer heat.

If you’re cooking for a big crowd or need something to take to a cookout, this is the perfect recipe to spice up your watermelon slices. Additionally, you can use the spice mixture to rub onto fish, vegetables, or chicken before they hit the grill.
