There are several different ways to chop melons. A typical and standard way is to cut into slices. However, we will consider a different method, the best from the point of view of practicality and storage in the refrigerator, as well as the possibility of a quick snack, which is important, because the standard method of cutting is sometimes a whole ritual and takes a lot of time.

Instruction manual
1
We wash the melon well and, using a cutting board and knife, cut off the ends of the melon on both sides, as shown in the photo.
The knife is preferably sharp. In this case, the juice on your cutting board will not be so much, and it will remain in sliced pieces.
2
Then, cut the melon peel from the edge. Make sure you cut as close to the edge as we want to have more melons than waste from it.
Thus, we clean the entire surface of the melon and move on to the next step.
3
Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. In this case, it is more convenient to use a spoon. This will save you time and less damage the surface of the melon.
4
Now you need to turn the halves on the cutting board and cut them into cubes, as if you cut, for example, a pumpkin.
Maybe in the process you will have an idea to cut additional slices of other fruits, making a fruit assortment for serving. Melon has a good combination with peach, pear, strawberries, raspberries and other sweet berries.
5
Transfer melon slices to prepared dishes.
When serving, the dish can also be decorated with green leaves of mint or lemon balm. And if the melon remains after the feast, you can easily close it and put it in the refrigerator until the next snack.
I wish you good health and bon appetit!
