WATERMELON GAZPACHO

Tomato and watermelon are an unexpected match, their respective acidity and sweetness mingling to great effect. This soup, adapted from Anya von Bremzen's book "The New Spanish Table," integrates the melon into a bare-bones gazpacho, one of the sovereigns of the high summer table. There are so few ingredients here that the ones you use will really stand out, so try to get the freshest, juiciest tomatoes and sweetest watermelon you can. The chopped celery brings the flavor combination together, so don't leave it out.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy watermelon: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the flavor of your gazpacho. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size, have a deep red color, and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Chill the watermelon and other ingredients before blending: This will help to create a refreshing and flavorful gazpacho.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and mint, will add a pop of flavor and color to your gazpacho.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to taste your gazpacho and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or acid (such as lemon juice or vinegar) to balance the flavors.
  • Serve immediately or chill before serving: Watermelon gazpacho can be served immediately after blending, or you can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Watermelon gazpacho is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a surplus of watermelon, give this recipe a try!
