Red, White & Blue Watermelon Parfait

A refreshing (and patriotic!) summer snack

There’s no time like a hot summer picnic to let your patriotic spirit show. This all-American snack featuring a classic favorite fruit — watermelon — is the perfect solution for a Fourth of July celebration. Watermelon, at 92 percent water, is a great way to get in some extra hydration on a hot summer day. Serving watermelon at a party or picnic can be as simple as slicing wedges, or you can find more inventive recipes, including a patriotic flag kebab cake, at watermelon.org.

1 cup diced watermelon
Whipped cream, for topping

Directions

  1. In small glasses, layer blueberries, yogurt and watermelon.

  2. Top with whipped cream and garnish with pieces of diced watermelon.
