“When one has tasted watermelon, he knows what the angels eat.” – Mark Twain –
Watermelon Gazpacho is a light, refreshing soup. Make and chill in the fridge. Ice-cold Watermelon Gazpacho tastes heavenly on a hot summer day!
Enjoy the joyful days of August with a ripe, juicy watermelon. Even better, drop by your local farmer’s market and purchase one. My favorite farmers market is St Michael’s Farmer’s Market.
It’s open from 8:00am to noon today. See you there!
Equipment:
- If you are want to make Watermelon Gazpacho quickly and with perfectly chopped vegetables, a mandolin is for you!
- If you like a burst of citrus flavor in your Watermelon Gazpacho, this microplane zester will do the trick!
Enjoy these last days of summer with some ripe, juicy watermelon!
