What better way to show off your knife skills and flavor prowess than by bringing a simple watermelon side dish to a neighborhood barbecue? With only two main ingredients, this fruit dessert is not only simple to make and transport, it is delicious.
Finding a sweet, ripe watermelon can sometimes be a challenge. While I look for a melon that is heavy for its size, I also look for the creamy yellow spot where it sat on the soil. While this creamy yellow spot means ripeness, I still give it a thump and listen for that hollow sound.
For this watermelon recipe, you’ll need to cube the fruit. Use a Butcher Knife to quarter the watermelon and a smaller knife, like the 6-3/4" Petite Carver, to cube it. For step-by-step instructions, take a look at Cutco’s How to Cube Watermelon step-by-step infographic.
