Watermelon Juice with Salt

This recipe is a genius way to use up the second half of that enormous summer watermelon you’ve been snacking on. There is truly nothing more refreshing than a cold glass of salted watermelon juice. Oh wait, but what about a salted watermelon margarita?

6 cups watermelon, cubed (from ¾ of a 6 lb baby seedless watermelon)
¾ tsp. kosher salt

Garnish:
lime wedges

Purée watermelon in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or measuring glass, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible; discard solids. Mix in salt.

Pour juice into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lime wedges if desired.

Makes about 4 cups.
