Sunny days are here! Yes, it is time of the year when water is the need of the hour. I just want to sit in a swimming pool whole day and keep sipping some lemonade. Schools have also closed down. So, I’m trying hard to stay sane and keep my kid busy with some activities. I bought this big watermelon today and thought of making some watermelon crush. Then I decided against it and ended up making Watermelon Gazpacho. Gazpacho is a cold soup and very popular in Spain especially during summer time.
Gazpacho is usually made with tomatoes. Chopped cucumber, onion, jalapenos, garlic is added to enhance the taste. I decided to give a twist with watermelon and enhanced the taste with ginger in it. So, check out the recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho today. It is refreshing, healthy and absolutely yum!
