How to cut a watermelon

This is an overview of how to cut a watermelon. I have a detailed blog post that covers the topic thoroughly which I think you should check out as it shows how to cut a watermelon into a variety of shapes like triangles, sticks and cubes

How to use a melon baller

Are your wondering why my watermelon in the salad is shaped like a ball?. I use a melon baller or a round measuring teaspoon to achieve that.

I actually used a measuring teaspoon since my little kitchen helper misplaced my melon baller. I am pretty sure if I look through the toy box it would be there. To use a teaspoon instead of a melon baller, make sure it’s a rounded teaspoon like the one.

So how do you use a melon baller?

Wash the melon, cut it into half.
Sink the melon baller into the watermelon
Next gently rotate your hand in a scooping motion until the face of the baller now faces up.
That’s it.

Tips

This salad is best enjoyed on the day it was made. However if you must keep for later, I recommend keeping it for only 2 days in the refrigerator.
If your watermelon isn’t sweet enough on its own you can add some honey syrup to sweeten things up. Honey syrup is made with an equal amount of water and honey. However, I usually use 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of honey. I love using honey syrup in my juices. I have a detailed post on honey syrup and it’s variations. Feel free to check it out.
