Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 whole watermelon (ripe and washed)
Instructions
- Place the watermelon on a large cutting board. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice off both ends to create stable, flat surfaces.
- Stand the watermelon upright and cut it in half vertically.
- Lay each half flat-side down and cut in half again to create quarters.
- For wedges, slice each quarter into 1-inch thick triangular pieces.
- For cubes, take each quarter, cut along the length into 1-inch slices, then rotate and cut again to form a grid.
- For sticks (great for kids), slice quarters into long 1-inch wide strips.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Always use a sharp knife and a stable surface to avoid slipping.
- Chilling the watermelon before cutting makes it extra refreshing.
- Store cut watermelon in the fridge for up to 4 days.
