Haylie’s Watermelon Gazpacho
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed seedless watermelon, plus more for topping
4 large heirloom tomatoes, chopped, plus more for topping
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 white onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 scallion, chopped
2 cucumbers, chopped, plus more for topping
Juice of 2 limes
2 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Crumbled goat cheese, for topping
Directions
Place the watermelon, tomatoes, garlic, onion, scallion, cucumbers, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper in a blender. Pulse a few times, but don’t overblend (I like my gazpacho chunky!).
Refrigerate the gazpacho until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve topped with more watermelon, tomatoes and cucumber, and goat cheese. Season with pepper.
