Sometimes the last thing you need after a busy weekday is a long bonding session with your kitchen oven or stove. This is especially true during the summer -- which is why we'd recommend a cool melon dish. Sure, you can just slice them up and eat them, but if you want to get more creative, here are nine excellent melon recipes from our Recipe Database. Melon is terrific in more than just fruit salads. Try it in a cold gazpacho, or perhaps a cool cocktail.
Watermelon with mint and lime: Rather than slicing it into wedges, chop the watermelon into bite-size cubes and toss with a little fresh mint and lime juice, along with a touch of olive oil for richness, and chill.
