Pickled Watermelon Rind with Radishes
For this recipe, make sure that traces of the pink fruit are gone from the watermelon rind then cut away and discard the green peel, too. What you’re left with are chunks of thick, white rind that definitely don’t deserve to be thrown away. Use this pickle as a condiment on sandwiches or serve as you would a chutney with grilled meats.

Fresh Pineapple Salsa
The tropical flavors of pineapple and lime combine with red onion, cilantro and serrano pepper for a salsa that's great with grilled pork, skirt steak, shrimp or tofu.

Savory Honeydew and Almond Gazpacho
For a smoother, more velvety texture, strain this soup through a fine sieve before serving. If you like, make the gazpacho a day or two in advance; just keep it well chilled until ready to serve.

Sangria
Save your best bottle for another day. For sangria, use a reasonably priced, reasonably good unoaked red wine with fruity, spicy notes. When peaches aren't in season, a ripe pear or an apple is a good substitute. We've added orange liqueur, which imparts a sweet citrus punch. You may leave it out if you wish.
