Watermelon and Tomato Gazpacho
The sweltering summer sun beats down on a faded cabana shade somewhere in Southern Spain. The cafe is offering a refreshing chilled gazpacho. It’s the perfect dish to counter the heat and sooth the pallet.
Who wouldn’t want to recreate such a scene. Gazpacho, a traditionally Spanish, tomato based soup incorporates a variety of vegetables and is usually served slightly chilled. We’ve cut the amount of EVOO that is normally used in the recipe and added the delicate flavor of watermelon, which gives the dish the light airy texture of the Spanish version minus the extra calories.
