watermelon slice

Rind-backed fruit portion

A watermelon slice is a wedge or segment cut from a whole watermelon, typically showing the characteristic red flesh, black seeds, and green rind in cross-section.

The triangular or semicircular shape has become iconic in summer imagery: She handed each kid a watermelon slice.

The phrase also appears in contexts describing the distinctive shape itself.
