Step 1
The first step of this watermelon and tomato gazpacho recipe is going to focus on the special guest ingredient of watermelon. We are going to peel it completely and remove the seeds. One of the advantages of using watermelon as an ingredient for gazpacho is that we don’t have to cut it into small pieces. It crushes so easily, we can cut it into large chunks to make this step quicker.
Step 2
Once we have prepared the watermelon and removed it in a separate container, we do the same with the tomato. In this case, we are going to chop it as much as possible and, depending on what you consider, you can remove all the skin or rely on the power of your blender.
Step 3
The peppers also require a little time. In this case, remove the stalk and the seeds from the inside and chop them as much as possible, as they are the hardest foodstuff compared to all the others. Finally, chop the onion and the clove of garlic.
Step 4
We begin to blend! Add the tomato and green pepper to the blender. While blending, add the onion and garlic clove, as well as salt, oil and vinegar. Continue blending until you get the right texture. Experience will help you improve your watermelon and tomato gazpacho recipe by perfecting this step. Adding salt, oil and vinegar until you get the right texture is the most important thing to obtain the ideal gazpacho dish.
Step 5
When you have finished blending these ingredients, you have a classic gazpacho ready to enjoy, but there are still steps to follow with this recipe. One of them depends on your preferences. This consists of passing the gazpacho through a sieve to remove all the lumps. This is the ideal option if you want a perfect liquid gazpacho. Note that the watermelon still needs to be added.
Step 6
In the container where we leave the gazpacho we have prepared we can add the watermelon chunks directly. Now it is time to blend again with the blender. You will see how easy it is to blend the watermelon and that in a few moments you will have everything mixed again in a more original gazpacho than the traditional one thanks to the unique flavour of the watermelon.
Step 7
Let your watermelon and tomato gazpacho recipe rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour, so that it can be served fresh. It is up to you to decide what to serve with the gazpacho. The classic version consists of adding croutons, although there are also those who opt for pieces of cucumber and onion. Another alternative ingredient is to replace the pepper with sweeter fruits so that the final flavour of the watermelon is not too intense.
