Beautiful color. It looks delicious. I grew up in the SF Bay Area, with the same cool summers, so I also have no memory of warm evenings outdoors in California. But, my dad mapped the eleven Western states for the USGS, and for parts of each summer my family would decamp to wherever he was working. At those locations I have lovely memories of being outside with all of us eating watermelon. We had a beautiful MCM wood and chrome salt shaker and pepper mill set—my nephew and niece have it now—that my dad used to salt and pepper his watermelon. I found that exotic and fascinating. We kids were on the move with our juicy slices. I never used to think of watermelon, but I have recently when I go to my vegetable stand on a warm afternoon. Both your watermelon chaat and your salad look good, I'd be happy to read about either.
So you know about parkas and sparklers for 4th of July too 😆 that sounds wonderful. Our vacations were generally close to the city . My parents always salted their watermelon and I like Tajin seasoning on watermelon also
What a lovely, lovely recipe! I did grow up eating watermelon all Florida summer long and love it. I’m always disappointed with the watermelons in France or from Spain, they’re barely sweet with barely a flavor. But I’ve been eating them this summer, for sure! Now I need to try this beautiful mousse!!
Btw… can we really replace the gelatin with the same quantity agar agar?? Doesn’t agar make things much stiffer? What’s your experience?

I’m going to try putting it in my ice cream maker and make watermelon pops
Oooh, that’s a great idea! Let me know how they turn out ♥️
I will ❤️
