Watermelon Gazpacho
We're in New York and were invited to my friend Barbara's for drinks. She served this amazing Watermelon Gazpacho. My husband LOVES Gazpacho and makes it every summer. Truth be told, I do not like Gazpacho, it's too acidic. Having said that, her Watermelon Gazpacho was absolutely delicious and by adding watermelon it totally tones down the acid. It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet and it's so light and refreshing. I actually want more of it and will make as soon as I get home.
