Best Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho Recipes
TOMATO-WATERMELON GAZPACHO WITH AVOCADO
After several days of sitting out on the counter feeding the fruit flies, even the firmest tomatoes start to slacken. That's when you know it's gazpacho time.This time I added watermelon, because I had it and because I wanted a slightly sweeter soup than usual. For color and voluptuous texture, I floated buttery avocado cubes on top. It was pretty enough to serve to company, and expandable enough to use up all the soft tomatoes on the oozing brink.

WATERMELON TOMATO GAZPACHO
A nice summertime recipe that calls for only raw ingredients and no cooking time. Lovely blend of flavors with no one flavor dominating. Used the Blender to puree. Done rapidly with no heat and would be very good for leftover watermelon. Cooking here is chill time.

Steps:
- 1. Put the garlic in a food processor and pulse a few times to chop it. Add the watermelon, tomatoes, and lemon juice, with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. You have two choices here: chunky or smooth. It all depends on whether you turn the machine on and leave it on, or just pulse a few times. Add a few ice cubes, one at a time, just enough to keep the machine working, and blend or pulse until smooth or chunky. Put the gazpacho in the fridge to chill a bit if you like, up to several hours. 2. Just before serving, taste the gazpacho and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed (remember youâll be adding feta, which is usually salty). Pour the gazpacho into 4 bowls, top with the feta, drizzle with a few drops of olive oil, garnish with the herb, and serve.
WATERMELON AND TOMATO GAZPACHO
At the 2001 Workshop, Chef Ken Vedrinski astonished guests with a "consommé" made from the strained juice of tomatoes and watermelon. Preparing the dish involved hanging the pureed fruits in a muslin bag overnight to collect the clear, sweet juices-a procedure that might deter many home cooks. Riffing on Chef Vedrinski's idea, Brian created an easier gazpacho that blends tomato, watermelon, and other summer vegetables so seamlessly that you can't decipher the contents. The result is a refreshing and original adaptation of the familiar Spanish soup.

- Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Vin de Porche Rosé or another dry rosé.
