Today’s Recipe: Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that combines the sweet juiciness of watermelon with a kick of spice in a refreshing gazpacho soup. This dish is perfect for hot summer days when you’re looking for something light, flavorful, and a little unexpected.

I love making this gazpacho when I’m in the mood for something unique and exciting. The combination of flavors is so unexpected, but it works so well together. Plus, it’s a great way to use up that leftover watermelon sitting in your fridge.

To make this Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 small watermelon, cubed (about 600g)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped (about 200g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped (about 150g)
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped (about 75g)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped (about 100g)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • blender
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • juicer

To prepare the Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho, start by combining the watermelon, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño pepper, tomato, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil in a blender. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together. When you’re ready to serve, ladle the gazpacho into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho recipe makes about 4 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 300g. One serving is around 120 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of tequila to the gazpacho for an extra kick of flavor. It adds a little bit of depth to the soup and pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the watermelon.

I hope you give this Spicy Watermelon Gazpacho a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients and make it your own! Let me know how it turns out for you. Happy cooking!
