Today is National Watermelon Day!

In celebration, I made this sweet and savory gazpacho to enjoy on the outdoor patio this evening. No other fruit says summer like the sweet, crunchy, cooling fruit watermelon.

Notes

There is no right or wrong way to make this gazpacho, add all of your ingredients to your taste preference. Here are a few other ingredients you can add to your gazpacho if you so desire: chopped celery, strawberries, chopped onion, shallots, or mint, or basil. If there is an ingredient you are not crazy about, don’t add it.
