How to cook deliciously - Watermelon Gazpacho

1. Stage

Purée the roughly chopped vegetables, cilantro, tomatoes, and watermelon: Put the roughly chopped onion, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro into a powerful blender. (Reserve the finely chopped vegetables for adding later.) Add the tomatoes and pulse until puréed. Add the watermelon and pulse again until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.

2. Stage

Add the vinegar, salt, and olive oil: Taste the gazpacho and add red wine vinegar to balance the sweetness of the watermelon and tomatoes. Depending on how sweet your watermelon is—and how acidic or sweet your tomatoes are—you may need to add more or less red wine vinegar. So, start with 1/4 cup of vinegar, and keep adding a tablespoon at a time until you've reached a balance you like. Whisk in the salt and olive oil.

3. Stage

Stir in the finely chopped vegetables, then chill: Stir in the finely chopped onions, bell pepper, cucumber, and jalapeño. Chill for at least an hour for the flavors so blend. (It's even better chilled overnight.) Add more salt to taste if it needs it.

4. Stage

Serve: To serve, garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro. Watermelon Gazpacho is also good with a side of toasted rustic bread. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
