Contrary to what some believe, yes, old watermelon does go bad. A whole, uncut ripe watermelon lasts about 10 days in the fridge, but just 2-5 days once cut. If you buy your watermelon pre-sliced, you should have a plan to eat it before it goes bad. Unlike other fruits, old watermelon does not easily show its age—no wrinkles to give away that it’s past its prime, and it may go bad before a telltale slime develops. Since watermelon needs to be eaten quickly once it’s cut, use these refreshing ideas so you’ll never need to waste your watermelon leftovers! Who knew you could make a spicy salad out of watermelon? Or what about sipping it in a creative watermelon cocktail? Each of these delicious watermelon recipes offers a creative recipe for those wondering what to do with leftover watermelon.
