WATERMELON GAZPACHO
Tomato and watermelon are an unexpected match, their respective acidity and sweetness mingling to great effect. This soup, adapted from Anya von Bremzen's book "The New Spanish Table," integrates the melon into a bare-bones gazpacho, one of the sovereigns of the high summer table. There are so few ingredients here that the ones you use will really stand out, so try to get the freshest, juiciest tomatoes and sweetest watermelon you can. The chopped celery brings the flavor combination together, so don't leave it out.

Steps:
- Seed 1 cup watermelon chunks and cut into small dice. Purée remaining watermelon in a blender (in batches if necessary). Pour purée through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids, and discard seeds.
- Return juice to blender and blend together with ice, almonds, and garlic (in batches if necessary) until smooth. Add bread, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste and blend, adding oil in a slow stream, until smooth.
- Top with diced watermelon.
Tips:
- Choose ripe watermelon: The best watermelon gazpacho is made with ripe, juicy watermelon. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size and has a deep red color.
- Chill the watermelon before using: Chilling the watermelon before making the gazpacho will help to make it extra refreshing.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in gazpacho, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Add a little bit of acidity: Gazpacho can be a bit sweet, so it's nice to add a little bit of acidity to balance it out. Lemon juice or vinegar are both good options.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a lot of flavor to gazpacho. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.
Conclusion:
Fresh watermelon gazpacho is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious summer soup. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful meal, give this watermelon gazpacho a try.
