Watermelon Rind Gazpacho
Recipe created by Anne Mauney, MPH, RD, dietitian and blogger at fANNEtasticfood.com
Ingredients
For garnish: finely diced watermelon, red onion, and avocado, fresh basil leaves and olive oil
Instructions
- Place the watermelon rind, red onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until finely chopped.
- Add the watermelon, tomato, basil, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend again until mostly pureed, with a little texture left. You can also puree until completely smooth if you'd like!
- Refrigerate to save (this tastes even better the next day), or pour into bowls, garnish, and enjoy.
Reviews
Easy and delicious! 1 mini seedless watermelon and all the additional ingredients fit into one blender pitcher (they compress down as the blending begins). I used slightly less salt and added one additional Tbs red wine vinegar for a little extra tartness and the flavor is AMAZING! Don’t be afraid of the jalapeno. The end result isn’t overtly spicy at all.
I wish I could post a photo or two. It is so beautiful!
