Watermelon Gazpacho ππππ

π
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 π1 tomato π1 red chilli π2 cups cubed fresh watermelon πWhite bits of the watermelon π1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar π2 tablespoons cup extra-virgin olive oil πΒ½ onion, minced π3 stalks of mint, minced (keep some for garnish) πHimalayan pink salt πFreshly ground black pepper πCrumbled 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...)
