“I grew up in the five points, breathing in polluted air from local factories. Fresh water has always been an issue, and the freshest thing in my neighborhood was a lemon in a liquor store. I’m really excited that other cities like Baltimore are down with the movement, and my goal is to make Keep It Fresh Day a national day.”
– Dr. Ietef Vita, a.k.a. DJ Cavem

Young Watermelon Salad Recipe

Ingredients
- 1 small watermelon
- 1/2 c fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 2 c. swiss chard, chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 c. sunflower sprouts (if you’re down)
- sea salt and pepper to taste (optional)
The Method:
Imagine yo’ watermelon is the planet earth. Find where the equator would be. Please tell me you know where the equator is. Cut along the equator.
Now, scoop out the watermelon so that there is just an empty rind. Set it aside. This will be your salad bowl. Dope right!?
Ok, now chop up that watermelon, and if you’re really bout it, save a few of those black seeds and plant some of your own so you can eat watermelon for free! Put the chopped watermelon back in your bowl.
Now, take all that yummy mint you chopped up, and that swiss chard, and your lime juice and add that to your watermelon. Toss, and add a little sea salt and pepper if you want.
Get creative and add other elements to this, like different herbs and spices. Try different lettuce options like romain, or kale.
You are the artist, make your food look beautiful, and taste bomb!
