If you find yourself with leftover watermelon this summer season (fairly unlikely, we know!), don't let it go to waste!

Instead, use every last bit of it with these 15 delicious watermelon recipes we've made over the years.

We've whipped up everything from Margarita-Soaked Watermelon Balls to, most recently, Watermelon Slice Sorbet Sandwiches, so we know you won't have any trouble picking one you can't wait to make for your next pool party.

(We've ALSO turned watermelon into amazing centerpiece art, thanks to our senior culinary producer and resident watermelon pro, Jeanette Donnarumma.)
