Step 2: Use your knife to cut the end of your cantaloupe. Stand your cantaloupe up on the flat edge, where you cut off the end. Now, cut between the skin and the flesh to peel a section of your cantaloupe. Work your way around until the skin is gone. Step 3: Cut your cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then, slice your cantaloupe into wedges or thin stripes, depending on how small you want them. Cut crossways to make bite-size pieces. And toss them into the bowl with your cucumbers.
