TOMATO-WATERMELON GAZPACHO WITH AVOCADO



Tomato-Watermelon Gazpacho With Avocado image

After several days of sitting out on the counter feeding the fruit flies, even the firmest tomatoes start to slacken. That's when you know it's gazpacho time.This time I added watermelon, because I had it and because I wanted a slightly sweeter soup than usual. For color and voluptuous texture, I floated buttery avocado cubes on top. It was pretty enough to serve to company, and expandable enough to use up all the soft tomatoes on the oozing brink.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter gazpacho, use ripe, juicy watermelon. If your watermelon is not very sweet, you may want to add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste.
  • If you don't have time to chill the gazpacho for 2 hours, you can serve it immediately. However, it will be more flavorful if you let it chill for a while before serving.
  • Garnish the gazpacho with fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or mint. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • Serve the gazpacho with crusty bread, crackers, or tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

Gazpacho with watermelon and avocado is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious summer soup. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful meal, give this gazpacho a try.
