RECIPE: WATERMELON CRUNCH SALSA

I’m the kind of guy who can’t eat chips without some sort of dip to go with them. There, I said it. It feels good to get that off my chest, but it’s out there now, and I can’t take it back.

RECIPE: WATERMELON RIND, CARROT AND PINEAPPLE SLAW

It’s no secret that watermelon is my favorite fruit (after all, I am “The Watermelon Guy”), but if I had to choose a second favorite, it would definitely be pineapple.
