Watermelon Sparkler
Is there anything better than a big watermelon in the summer months? We think not! Give the kids a little kitchen project to kick off your 4th of July, and summer season.
I saw this cute idea on the Women of Today blog last summer, and it quickly became my go-to for pool parties, afternoon snacks, and apps for the kids at summer bbq. These watermelon sparklers are so cute, easy to make, and a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients:
1 large watermelon cut to 1” thickness
1 crate of blueberries
1 pack of short bamboo skewers
STEP 1:
Cut your watermelon into 1” thick rings.
STEP 2:
Use your star cookie cutter to cut our each of the star shapes.
STEP 3:
Take your skewer and add blueberries - as many as you want - but leave room for the handle and the star.
STEP 4:
Top the skewer with your watermelon star and enjoy!
For a little treat for the adults, here is a very simple and tasty addition to any summer BBQ.
Ingredients:
watermelon sliced in rectangles or squares
crumbled feta cheese
chopped arugula
balsamic vinaigrette
blueberries - optional
