This Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho is a refreshing twist on a classic cold soup, with a sweet and spicy kick that will leave your taste buds tingling. Let’s dive into the details of this unique recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 1 small watermelon, diced (about 600g)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and diced (about 200g)
  • 1/2 red onion, diced (about 50g)
  • 1 red chili pepper, seeded and diced
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Handful of fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • blender
  • knife

To start, add the diced watermelon, cucumber, red onion, chili pepper, lime juice, and cilantro to a blender. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Once chilled, give the gazpacho a good stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired. Serve the Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho chilled, garnished with extra cilantro leaves for a pop of color.

This soup is perfect for a light lunch or as a refreshing starter for a summer dinner party. The sweet watermelon pairs beautifully with the spicy chili pepper and tangy lime juice, creating a burst of flavors in every spoonful.
