I recently had lunch at a restaurant that had watermelon gazpacho on the menu. I made the mistake of ordering the other soup of the day which was awful and overpowered by dill, not pretty to look at.

Watermelon Gazpacho

For the next few hours, the vision of a watermelon gazpacho danced in my head. I could see pretty colors, and taste refreshing combinations of tomato, melon and cucumber. The weather was a crisp 99 degrees F. and as I was putting my farmer’s market bounty away, I realized I a cut up watermelon staring at me, a half cucumber and of  some summer tomatoes.

As if genies gathered in my kitchen, a watermelon gazpacho was poured into a bowl, and I was happy.

This is gazpacho blended a bit more smoothly, although I still prefer it chunkier.

The first thing I did was research watermelon gazpacho. I have a good tomato gazpacho here, but adding watermelon is another story.

When I returned home, I had that watermelon gazpacho on my mind. What are the chances of me just happening to have al the ingredients on hand? Don’t you love when things like that happen?Recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho from Spinach Tiger

Easy Recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho Depends on the Freshest Ingredients

This recipe for watermelon gazpacho is straight away simple, as long as you have the freshest, sweetest ingredients. This is a soup that requires farmer’s market tomatoes and sweet, ripe watermelon. Go gently on the cucumber, which has a penchant to dominate a dish.

When you add in your peppers, go with what makes you happy. I’m not a fan of raw, green bell pepper, as red bell pepper is sweeter. I also used a serrano.

I was gentle with the vinegar, but keep in mind that the vinegar taste will subside.

Sit back and relax, cool off with this delicious soup.

  1. I make watermelon salsa…watermelon, mango or pineapple or sometimes both. jalapeno with seeds removed, diced red onion, sometimes cucumber, lime juice, a little garlic salt, maybe a drizzle of honey, not always…chopped Italian parsley, and I have used mint too sometimes…We have used it over fish or just a nice helping over some mixed greens, no need for dressing…It is always a little different because I use what is on hand but it is always very good, my hubby loves it…I was thinking it might be good over cream cheese too.
