    How to Make a Firecracker Fruit Salad

    Kristi slicing a large watermelon with the RADA Ham Slicer

    Choose a medium to large seedless watermelon to create your bowl. Slice lengthways down the middle all the way through with a long knife like the Rada Ham Slicer.

    Kristi Kay scooping out a large watermelon with the RADA Ice Cream Scoop

    Scoop out the watermelon of one half into another bowl. The Rada Ice Cream Scoop makes this step easy!

    Kristi decorating the edge of a large watermelon with the RADA Paring Knife

    Make diagonal cuts around the rim of the watermelon to make a decorative edge. A Rada Paring Knife is just the right size.

    Kristi making even slices from a large watermelon using the RADA Slicer knife

    Slice the other half of the watermelon into thin slices. The same thickness as your star cookie cutter. The Ham Slicer will work or try a little shorter knife like the Rada Cutlery Slicer.

    Kristi making star shapes from a large watermelon using a small metal cookie cutter

    Cut out star-shaped watermelon pieces using a star cookie cutter!

    Kristi stringing watermelon stars onto wooden skewers of varying lengths and placing into watermelon bowl

    Spear watermelon stars onto a wooden skewer. Cut skewers to different lengths for varying levels of height. Make as many stars on a stick that you wish.

    Kristi placing the wooden skewers with watermelon stars into the other watermelon bowl

    Push the skewers into the bottom of the watermelon bowl. Return the watermelon you scooped out to the watermelon bowl.

    For a red, white and blue theme add blueberries and bananas. Helpful note: Dip bananas in lemon juice to prevent browning.

    Add any remaining watermelon stars to the top of the salad. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve!

     Superior for Slicing Watermelon

    RADA Cutlery Ham Slicer with triangular slices of watermelon, halved strawberries and a string of grapes around it

    Rada Ham Slicer

    Slice extra large watermelons with ease when you use the Rada Cutlery Ham Slicer. This versatile knife features a 9 ½-inch blade, the longest we make at Rada Mfg. Co. The blade easily slices through larger meats such as hams, loins, and roasts. But the long blade, which is constructed of surgical-quality steel and hand-sharpened for a razor edge, has uses far beyond simply slicing your favorite meats. It also comes in handy with large foods such as cakes, melons, and more!

    "Like all Rada knives, the ham slicer is  wonderful. Sharp, thin and long enough to make slicing even a large game easy. I recommend Rada knives to anyone who asks about what kind of knives to buy. Far  superior to expensive knives I’ve owned and with a few strokes of the knife sharpener, always  razor sharp. I’ll never buy anything else."
