At the bottom of this post you will find a link to 110 patriotic ideas to make your 4th of July sparkle!
Watermelons are a must at our family's 4th of July gatherings, and today I created a tasty Salted Watermelon Slushie for you and your family to enjoy. These slushies are perfect for an outdoor gathering when the heat is on! I know some of you may be questioning the salt and watermelon combination, but any southerner knows a little salt enhances the flavor of watermelon. It is a combination that is a must try! So without further ado, I give you...
Place 5 cups of seedless, cubed watermelon in a blender. Puree the watermelon and then add granulated sugar, kosher salt, and ice. Blend to your liking and pour into serving cups. Garnish with fresh blueberries and watermelon star skewers! Enjoy 🙂
