ReplyDeleteFabulous! I hate cutting watermelon... thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteJust a tip for lettuce:
ReplyDeleteIf you plan on using a lot of lettuce at once for a salad (left overs?), smash the stalk vertically on the bench. It will break it off of all of the leaves and you can pull it apart.
Tada, lettuce ready for salad in 2 seconds.
My sister does this with cantelope too! I was so impressed when I saw her do it. It's so easy!!
