No ice cream maker required. Just watermelon, sweetness, citrus, and mint. Vodka optional. Scoop it up, place in pretty bowls, and accept the oohs and aahs.

Ratatouille gets sliced, diced, deconstructed, and reimagined thanks to this fashionably brilliant approach to late-summer surplus. Oh, and pickled, too.
