Watermelon Gazpacho Recipe
I’ve been getting many requests for my Watermelon Gazpacho Recipe. I made this particular recipe at work today because I wanted to run something cool, and refreshing. You’ll be surprised at how easy to this delicious, cold soup is to prepare.
Prep time 30 minutes Serves 10 Ingredients 1 medium-sized ripe, seedless watermelon peeled, and cut into 2 even portions 10 ounces organic, fresh pineapple juice (regular canned juice may be used) Juice and zest of 2 lemons Juice and zest of 2 limes 1 cup of ¼-inch cut seedless cucumbers ½ cup finely chopped yellow peppers ½ cup finely chopped orange peppers 2 cups de-stemmed, ¼-inch cut fresh strawberries 8 leaves fresh mint, cut chiffonade ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons organic honey ½ teaspoon Kosher or sea salt 1-teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper Directions Cube half of the watermelon and place in a blender with 5 ounces of the fresh pineapple juice, and blend on high for 30 seconds, until smooth. Repeat this process until the rest of the ½ watermelon, and pineapple juice is used. Put the blended mixture in an appropriately sized serving vessel- stainless steel, or glass works well. Cut the remaining watermelon into symmetrical ¼ inch cubes, and place in the blended mixture. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir gently, making sure everything is incorporated, and the honey is dissolved. Place the gazpacho in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours, so that all of the flavors can bloom. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Enjoy,
