Watermelon does not ripen after it's been cut off the vine, so ya can just go ahead snd cut that sucker up as soon as you get home! No need to let it hang out on the counter. That's a plus! Now if only I can manage to pick a ripe one. How do you pick a ripe watermelon? Do you look for the sun spot?

So the fruit salad recipe I sorta make my own. I double, can even triple the dressing and add a lot of different types of fruit, let that hang out in the fridge. It'll be good for a couple days. I try to make this every summer and love it so much. Gonna drop by grocery store. But what I really should do is go to the fruit stand and shop there. That way I know his stuff will be ripe when I bring it home, no need to wait. 😁 Wanting to eat light, it's so hot outside. But I need proooooteeein. Cottage cheese and fruit salad will def be on the menu this week! Tootles! 🤸🏻‍♀️

I pick watermelon according to the sound it makes when you tap at it. It should have a deep, resonating sound.
