I’ve had a love affair with gazpacho for as long as I can remember. Soup is normally one of those recipes that you throw together last-minute on a busy weeknight. But, this refreshing dish is anything but an afterthought.
I got the idea for this Watermelon Gazpacho while scrolling through Pinterest the other night. And, as a gazpacho lover, couldn’t wait to add the watermelon to one of my g0-to meals. I can’t tell you how delicious this twist on a classic recipe is. It added the perfect touch of sweetness and made this meal perfect for those upcoming summer nights. If you love gazpacho, or even if you’ve never given it a fair shot, I promise you one thing; you will love this gazpacho.
- 5 cups seedless watermelon
- 3 ripe tomatoes (Diced)
- 1 Cucumber (Diced)
- 1/2 a White Onion
- 1 tsp fresh garlic
- 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 handful basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- In a blender or food processor combine watermelon, half of a chopped cucumber, half of your tomatoes, the white onion, garlic, olive oil and basil. Blend until very smooth.
- Add to a bowl and add in remaining chopped vegetables (if desired). Let chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Serve with a side of fresh bread and enjoy!
