Watermelon Gazpacho ๐๐๐๐
๐
๐
Bought some watermelon from my neighbourhood fruit stall and really wanted to make a gazpacho with it. Most recipes call for cucumber but I thought hey why don't we use the white bits of the watermelon instead of letting it go to waste? Mr Jazz Guitarist approved of the soup so am sharing the recipe here with you.
INGREDIENTS ๐1 tomato ๐1 red chilli ๐2 cups cubed fresh watermelon ๐White bits of the watermelon ๐1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar ๐2 tablespoons cup extra-virgin olive oil ๐ยฝ onion, minced ๐3 stalks of mint, minced (keep some for garnish) ๐Himalayan pink salt ๐Freshly ground black pepper ๐Crumbled raw vegan cheeze
METHOD Add tomato, chilli, mint, white watermelon bits and 1 cup of the watermelon cubes into blender/food processor and blend. Pour in vinegar and olive oil and blend again. Add onion, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Process till smooth. Add in remaining watermelon cubes. Sprinkle with mint and vegan cheese crumbs. Serve and enjoy! (Gazpacho is usually served cold but my qigong teacher doesn't encourage us to drink cold drinks, so yeah...)
