Watermelon Gazpacho Ingredients

Simple, fresh summer produce is all you need for this recipe.  The key ingredients are

Watermelon  – Seedless fully ripe watermelon is the best the choice. If you do have seeds in the watermelon, try removing them as much as you can.

Cucumber – English cucumbers are great. The ones that are firm will add perfect texture to the cold soup.

Roma Tomato – Ripe but firm tomatoes are best. Gazpacho’s key ingredients in tomatoes.

Red Bell Pepper – Remove seeds. Adds both sweet and savory taste to the soup.

Red Onion – For more depth of flavors.

Garlic – Just a clove of garlic to enhance it’s flavors. Since the soup is raw, too much garlic will make it taste funky.

Fresh Mint – This soup is all about freshness. A handful of fresh mint adds flavor, taste and amazing freshness to the soup. You can swap mint with fresh basil as well. Watermelon and basil is as good as watermelon and mint.

Jalapeno – For a hint of heat in the soup, use jalapenos.

Salt & Pepper – for seasoning, adjust according to your taste.

Olive oil – Extra virgin olive oil is best option.

Red Wine Vinegar (or sherry vinegar).

How To Make Watermelon Gazpacho

1. Cut watermelon. Discard any seeds if it has and chop into pieces.
2. Seed tomatoes (optional step). And dice it.
3. Seed and dice cucumbers. You can peel the skin as well. I prefer to keep the skin on English cucumbers.
4. Chop red bell peppers (remove the seeds).
5. Dice red onions.
6. Peel a garlic clove. Chop jalapeno.
7. To the jar of blender add the watermelon, red bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno chilies, garlic, mint leaves, pepper and salt to taste. Puree.
8. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar and pulse.
9. Puree the soup to desired consistency. You can keep it chunky and coarse or you can blend it until it’s smooth.
10. Taste and season if it needs extra salt or pepper. Refrigerate watermelon gazpacho for minimum one hour to 4 hours, so it’s chilled. You can even make it a day ahead and chill it in fridge.
11. Pour chilled gazpacho into bowls/glasses.
12. Garnish with few chopped pieces of watermelon, red bell peppers, cucumber, onion and mint leaves sprig. Sprinkle some ground pepper on top. Drizzle few drops of olive oil.
