Making this is also a fantastic way to reduce food waste. Did you know that you can eat watermelon rinds? 🍉 Instead of throwing them out, you can fry them up like any other vegetable or you can pickle them!
Watermelon rind tastes similar to cucumber and once cooked the texture becomes closer to tender, sauteed carrots. 😋
