Watermelon Gazpacho

While we are on the subject of healthy food that tastes incredible, I want to share one of my favourite warm weather recipes. Watermelon Gazpacho is one of the easiest soups to make. It is the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. It is refreshing, palate-tempting and makes a beautiful presentation for an “al fresco” dinner in the backyard. And have fun with a garnish. Avocado works beautifully and herb oils add great contrasting colours and complementary flavours.

1 Seedless Watermelon

3 Red Bell Peppers

1 Red Onion

1 English Cucumber, peeled and seeded

2 cloves garlic

Red Wine Vinegar to taste

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Chop first four ingredients in a Cuisinart Food Processor. Transfer to Cuisinart Blender and puree adding vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with basil pesto.
