Spicy watermelon (Feta, shishito peppers, cucumber) 10

Prep
Batons of watermelon are compressed with sambol and sugar. In other words, these three ingredients are placed in a vacuum bag, and when the bag is sealed, the machine draws out the pockets of air in the watermelon, which are filled by sambol and sugar.
Cucumbers are peeled, sliced, and seeded, and they're compressed with mint simple syrup.
Shishitos are blistered in the salamander, and then tossed with fresh lime and salt.
The feta is goat milk feta from Water Oak farms in Robertson County.

Pickup
The watermelon and cucumber are sliced, and plated with feta, shishitos, and a chiffonade of fresh mint.
