Fresh summer tomatoes, super hot weather… it’s time for Watermelon Gazpacho. 

Watermelon Gazpacho

Every summer, I love making gazpacho, the traditional Spanish cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. It’s refreshing, delicious, and really doesn’t get much healthier than a chilled bowl of fresh, blended veggies. It’s such a great dish to make at the beginning of the week to enjoy as a quick breakfast or lunch. Yes, I said breakfast.  You can even sip it like a smoothie if you want. 

Here, I’ve added watermelon to add a touch of sweetness. Yet, it’s still very savory and has a little kick from the jalapeno. If you are a gazpacho lover like me, this Watermelon Gazpacho is a must-make!
