Cut watermelon yes… but what is the right way to cut a watermelon?
Slicing a watermelon sounds easy, but there is a correct technique you need to follow to get the perfect slices. First, make sure the watermelon is placed on a safe surface, then cut off one end of the watermelon to create a flat base, and then start the tricks!
Thick slices
The most common way to cut watermelon is into thick slices. It is easy to do and can be very attractive if presented on a wooden cutting board, on a white plate or on a slate tray.
Be sure to cut the watermelon into even slices for a more pleasing result.
Circles
Select a long, sharp knife, secure the watermelon on a non-slip surface and cut across the width of the watermelon. You can decorate the round slices with mint and lime zest.

Serve the balls on a large plate or in small dessert cups.

Remember not to leave them alone with knives or other utensils, always with supervision.
Add fruits and herbs.
For a more colourful presentation, add fresh fruits and herbs to the dish with the watermelon. For example, you can add strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mint leaves or mint to add an extra touch of freshness and flavour.
