Watermelon/Tomato Gazpacho
It's been a while but this is totally worth dusting off the old recipe blog.
We had some watermelon cubes in the frig that were threatening to go to waste and we had a similar soup at a restaurant a few weeks ago PLUS I ran across this recipe not to mention that freaking Siri commercial with Sam Jackson is on a freaking loop so, obviously, the universe was saying "MAKE GAZPACHO ALREADY."
I messed with the quantities of the ingredients as I'm sure you will.
You need:
2 cups watermelon
1 cup chopped tomato
the juice of a few lemons
2 tbs red wine vinegar
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
sprigs of mint
generous portion of kosher salt (don't be scared, this soup drinks salt; taste as you go)
day old bread hunks, about a cup of it rough chopped
crumbled feta cheese
Add the watermelon, salt tomato, lemon juice, mint, vinegar and oil to a blender and puree till smooth.
Pop the hunks of bread in and let soak for a few minutes.
Blend till smooth again. Check for acidity and oeverall tastiness. Add more of whatever you think it lacks. I ended up adding more salt, oil, vinegar and lemon juice after the first whir, but you be the judge.
I made mine a day ahead. Top with feta cheese and serve super chilled.
Next time, there will be cucumber!
