Melons
Prep & Store
Rinse off any remaining dirt and slice as you like! Cut into small pieces using the rind as a handle, or slice, scoop, or cube flesh.
For melons with seeds, cut in half to scoop out seeds and then slice. Or cut in half, then in half again, and slice out seeds at a 45-degree angle.
Tasty Tip
Cut in half, slice widthwise, and then halve again for an old-fashioned wedge.
Quick & Easy Recipe
Cut in half, remove seeds, and use melon-baller to scoop balls or shave delicate slices with knife, and toss with fresh baby romaine, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
