When ready for serving, lay watercress in bottom of serving bowl; put melon and water chestnuts mixture over it, sprinkle with crunchy sea salt, add a handful of coriander. Variations could include using sliced napa cabbage or other delicate asian greens in seasons under the melon, using mint or basil with or instead of coriander, sprinkling with sesame seed, and/or or adding some hot pepper as in the recipe this is based on (but very cooling and delicious as is if there is heat elsewhere in your meal).
