Ingredients

• 1 whole (approximately 10-15 lbs) Watermelon

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the exterior of the whole watermelon under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Place the watermelon on a large, sturdy cutting board. Carefully cut off both ends of the watermelon (about 1 inch each) to create flat surfaces.

Step 3

Stand the watermelon upright on one of the flat ends. Using a sharp knife, slice the watermelon in half vertically.

Step 4

Lay each half flat-side down on the cutting board. Cut each half into 1-inch-thick slices horizontally.

Step 5

Rotate the slices 90 degrees and slice again, forming a grid pattern to create small, triangular pieces or cubes, depending on preference.

Step 6

Transfer the watermelon slices to a large serving plate or bowl. Discard the rind.

Step 7

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for an extra chilled treat.
