How to cook deliciously - Watermelon Gazpacho

1. Stage

Finely chop one-quarter of cucumber; set aside for serving. Roughly chop remaining cucumber and transfer to a blender. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, watermelon, oil, vinegar, jalapeño, and 2 tbsp. shallot; season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend to desired consistency. (We like ours with a little bit of texture, but you can blend until completely smooth if you prefer.) Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar or oil if needed.

2. Stage

Transfer to refrigerator to chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

3. Stage

Divide gazpacho among bowls. Top with herbs, a drizzle of oil, reserved cucumber, and remaining 1 tbsp. shallots. Serve with bread alongside.
