It’s no secret that watermelon is one of the most versatile foods in the produce aisle, and that fact was driven home by the wide variety of entries in this year’s What About Watermelon Recipe Contest. We narrowed the entries down to three finalists in each of our three categories – beverages, desserts, and “everything else” – and your votes determined the winners.
And the winners are…
BEVERAGE CATEGORY: Whistling Watermelon Drink (Laurie H. of Plant City, FL)
DESSERT CATEGORY: Watermelon Panna Cotta (Chris B. of Kenova, WV)
“EVERYTHING ELSE” CATEGORY: Red, White and Blue Watermelon Salad (Mary L. of Columbia, SC)
Congrats to our winners and thanks again to everyone who submitted a recipe in this year’s contest! As a reward for their culinary genius, each of our winners will be given choice of any of the monthly prizes we’ve given away here on What About Watermelon (assuming their prizes are still available).
I know it’s not easy to choose just one of the many prizes we’ve given away here on What About Watermelon over the years, so I asked each winner to choose their top three prizes, just in case one of their choices was unavailable.
