Categories     side-dish

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup almonds, blanched and peeled
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 small honeydew or Sharlyn melons, peeled, seeded and cut into large pieces (6 to 7 cups melon chunks)
Salt
Ground white pepper
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and julienned
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
Creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Put the blanched almonds in a blender with 1/4 cup of the lemon juice. Puree until totally smooth, then add the bread and melon and puree again. You will most likely need to puree the melon in batches. After pureeing one batch, pour out all but one cup of the liquid and then add the next batch. Season well with salt and white pepper. If the soup needs more acid, add the remaining lemon juice. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little water, but if the melons are really ripe, this shouldn't be a problem. Serve slightly chilled. Garnish with toasted almonds, grapes, and a swirl of creme fraiche.

  • To make the ham crostini, use a good quality ham that is thinly sliced. You can also use prosciutto or Serrano ham.

  • Garnish the gazpacho with fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or mint. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of sour cream.
