Number Of Ingredients 18

Gazpacho:
1 pound seedless watermelon, rind removed, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 large beefsteak tomato, coarsely chopped
1 English hothouse cucumber, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Crema and assembly:
1/4 cup almonds
2 ounces feta, preferably French sheep's milk, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons whole milk
3/4 pound seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 2 cups)
1/2 English hothouse cucumber, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces
Olive oil (for serving)
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Gazpacho:
  • Purée watermelon, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, oil, and vinegar in a blender until smooth.
  • Transfer gazpacho to a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Do ahead: Gazpacho can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Crema and assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can do this step in a dry small skillet over medium heat.) Let almonds cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Mash feta into sour cream in a small bowl until mostly smooth, then whisk in milk.
  • Divide watermelon and cucumber among bowls and pour gazpacho over. Top with crema and almonds, drizzle with oil, and season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Do ahead: Crema can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
