I love having a container of fresh fruit all prepared and ready in the refrigerator for open-range grazing. When I’m alone for meals, I convince myself that it’s too much trouble going to any bother preparing something. But the 10 minutes I spend prepping these melon wedges always pays off each time I peek in the refrigerator looking for something healthy to eat! Then I always have something impressive on hand to take to a potluck, BBQ, or when I’m asked to bring something to dinner...
Presentation, presentation, presentation... The three rules of successful cooking. Just a little more time and forethought can pay off big when you need a plate of fruit.
This works best with seedless watermelon (and I’ve noticed it’s hard to find SEEDED melon anymore...) So, if that’s the case - how do we encourage reproduction in the melon industry anyway? (Just wondered...)
I started cutting my melon this way to match the cantaloupe slices everyone asks me to bring with a fruit plate. To see how I prepare cantaloupe, here is the LINK.
Give this a try and see if your melon tray gets a little more notice!
