Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (seedless, medium-sized) Watermelon
Instructions
Rinse the outside of the watermelon thoroughly under running water to clean the skin.
Place the watermelon on a large, sturdy cutting board.
Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully cut off both ends of the watermelon to create a flat surface for stability.
Stand the watermelon upright on one of the flat ends.
Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise, creating two equal halves.
Take one half and place it cut-side down on the cutting board for easier handling.
Slice the half lengthwise again into quarters, creating four long wedges from this portion of the watermelon.
Repeat with the other half to create a total of eight wedges.
For smaller pieces, cut each wedge crosswise into two or three smaller triangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the watermelon wedges on a large platter or tray for serving.
