Living in a throw-away society where things are used once isn’t sustainable. This Salinas snack shop challenges the trend by filling a hollowed half of a watermelon with freshly cut cucumber, cantaloupe and pineapple along with sweets like hard tamarind Mexican candies and Twizzlers. The fruit-and-candy combination is doused in chamoy, a sauce made of fermented fruit and lime juice. This made-to-share mixture covers all the components of Mexican treats: sweet, savory and slightly spicy.
