About

What's your ideal beach day? Ours is when the sun is gleaming with just the right amount of breeze flowing through our hair, our favorite people laughing around us, and a refreshing sweet and salty snack in hand to munch on as we sit back and relax under our umbrella. One of our go-to faves for grazing is this Fresh Watermelon Salsa. Dipping a salty tortilla chip into a big bucket of the tangy, juicy, and slightly spicy blend as the waves crash in feels like a summery heaven. Ah, take us to that place! But until then, we'll be snacking on some Fresh Watermelon Salsa at home, dreaming about the day our toes get to touch the sand!
