With summer temperatures in the 90's daily,
we are doing everything we can to stay hydrated.
Watermelon is a painless way to accomplish that goal,
as it is mostly water, but oh-so much sweeter.
I found this trick to slicing watermelon the other day,
and knew I just had to share it.
You can see the original video here.
The gist of it is making watermelon
a bit more manageable to eat and enjoy.
We had a quarter of watermelon left to cut up.
We are savoring this luscious and refreshing fruit
every chance we get.
We can sometimes find these icebox-sized, 2 for $5.00.
If you can cut an onion into a dice,
you can use the same technique with any kind of melon.
Simply cut down from top to bottom,
and then cut across the width of it the same way.
You'll end up with watermelon pops
that are easy for even the smallest hands to handle.
Enjoy!

Daisy, I'm not a fan of watermelon. Yeah, I know there's something wrong with me. It's not that I totally dislike it and can't stand to eat it but I just don't really care that much for it. I'm not big on any kind of fruit but I should be. I've started making fruit smoothies with my new nutribullet so I'm getting some fruit into my diet now. It's not that I don't like fruit. It's just that I don't really know where to fit it into the meal plan for the day. Now for potluck events watermelon is always a big hit and this technique would be the best for cutting up the melon. It's still good information to know even if I don't really eat much watermelon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great watermelon cutting day.
You can use it with other types of melon too!
DeleteLove watermelon!! ... and love your simple grab-and-go idea of cutting it into pops! It's very high in vitamin C also.
