Melon Gazpacho Nugget Markets quick and easy

This fresh take on gazpacho makes a refreshing appetizer or first course on a hot summer evening.

Ingredients

  • 4 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 melon (Tuscan, cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon), rind removed, deseeded, and chopped, plus more for garnish
  • ½ cucumber, peeled and deseeded
  • ¼ cup Champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 shallot, diced, for garnish

Preparation

Puree tomatoes, then press the pulp through a fine mesh strainer and set aside.

Puree the melon, cucumber, vinegar, and olive oil together in a blender until smooth. Pass through a fine mesh strainer and discard any remaining solids. Fold together melon and tomato purees.

Season gazpacho with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Serve cold, garnished with diced shallot, diced melon, and a couple drops of olive oil.
