how to cut a dragon fruit, start by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry. Then, place it on a cutting board and slice off both ends using a sharp knife. Next, make a lengthwise cut down the middle to create two halves. From here, you can either scoop out the flesh with a spoon or make crosswise cuts into each half, being careful not to pierce the skin. Once sliced, you can peel back the skin or use the spoon to scoop out the flesh. Enjoy the delicious and visually stunning fruit on its own or in salads, smoothies, or desserts.
