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:
- Working in batches, purée all of the ingredients except the garnish in a blender for two minutes or longer until frothy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, making sure you have used enough salt and lemon juice for a vivid flavor. Transfer to a bowl, and chill for several hours. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve, garnishing each bowl with thinly sliced celery or, if serving in glasses, with a thin lengthwise slice of celery stick.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of watermelon, but I really enjoyed this gazpacho. The sweetness of the watermelon was balanced out by the acidity of the tomatoes and the spice of the jalapeño.
