How to cut a watermelon?

There are many ways to cut watermelon for decorative purposes. For this recipe, you simply need to cubed it so that it can fit into the blender. You could use a melon baller set but if you don’t have it, a sharp knife and some simple steps will work.

• Lay the watermelon on a sturdy surface with the stems facing horizontally.
• Slice the watermelon, turning it as you do so. There is no need to slice right through the watermelon.
• Once you have come full circle with the slice, simply slice a bit deeper through it until it splits.
• Turn the watermelon on the flat side. It is now much easier to slice off the skin from the top to the bottom.
• Once the skin and white parts are removed, slice the watermelon into slices and then cube it further.
