This spicy watermelon gazpacho is made with fresh veggies and herbs – a refreshing way to start a summer dinner on the back patio.
Sweet, juicy watermelon is a summer staple across the country as the weather heats up. It’s usually eaten as a treat after a barbecue or family picnic, and that’s a fine way to eat it. Sometimes, however, you end up with more watermelon than you can handle.
If that’s the case, you can use it all up in this easy gazpacho recipe. Made with fresh summer veggies and herbs, it’s a refreshing way to start a summer dinner on the back patio with a hearty meal (see: Crockpot Pulled Pork). While you can serve this soup immediately after you make it, it’s best served chilled after the flavors have had time to meld.
