Chill the melon, cut it into halves and remove the seeds. Slicethe melon into ¾ inch wide slices. Run your knife along thebottom of the flesh close to the rind, being careful not toremove the rind. Leave a small amount of the rind at the end ofthe slice attached to the flesh. This will allow for anappealing presentation.
