Trim Away the Rind

Trim away the rind, following the rounded shape of the melon as much as possible, so as to avoid removing excess flesh. Rotate the melon as you go. Trim away the remaining bits of white rind (they're largely flavorless).

If you'd like to make watermelon rind pickles, save the large pieces; otherwise, compost it.
