Beat the Summer Heat with Watermelon Gazpacho Recipe

Summer Recipe: Refreshing Watermelon Gazpacho

Today, I’m excited to share a perfect dish for those hot summer days when you need something light, refreshing, and delicious. This watermelon gazpacho is a twist on the classic chilled soup, incorporating sweet watermelon for a unique and satisfying flavor combination.

To make this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon, diced
• 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

• blender
• knife
• cutting board
• bowls
• spoon

Start by combining the diced watermelon, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once chilled, give the gazpacho a good stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust as needed with more salt, pepper, or lime juice. Serve the watermelon gazpacho in bowls, garnished with extra cilantro leaves or a slice of lime for a burst of freshness.

This watermelon gazpacho recipe yields approximately 1200 grams of soup, enough for 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300 grams and contains approximately 100 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving. It adds a subtle tanginess that complements the sweetness of the watermelon beautifully.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this watermelon gazpacho as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite summer ingredients or spices to make it your own. Stay cool and hydrated this summer with this delightful chilled soup!
