Snack on Charcuterie
There’s something for everyone with a fit-to-share charcuterie board. We like to balance salty meat and cheese with plenty of fun fruity sides! Customize to the occasion with your favorite snacks, but don’t forget the watermelon.
Festive tip: Use holiday cookie cutters to create pretty watermelon cutouts for your board!
Start with Scrumptious Salad
While your main course is cooking, let’s start dinner with a tasty salad. This Fresh Mozzarella Watermelon Salad is quick to put together with just a few ingredients tossed in a simple dressing.
A Main Course for the Masses
Cooking for a crowd can be tricky, so finding an easy entree recipe that you can make in bulk is key. These pork chops with watermelon cranberry compote glaze is a flavorful recipe that can be easily halved, doubled or tripled depending on your party size. Spread out your prep by making the compote glaze ahead of time, allowing pork chops to marinate overnight.
Time For Dessert
There’s nothing better to finish off a savory meal and wow your guests than homemade cheesecake. Topped with watermelon-blueberry sauce, this dessert is satisfying in both taste and aesthetics (plus a great alternative when everyone’s had enough holiday cookies!).
