Creating Watermelon Gazpacho is simple and fun! Just follow these steps to prepare this refreshing dish:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cubing the watermelon and chopping the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. This will save time during blending.
2. Blend the Watermelon: In a large blender, add 3 cups of cubed watermelon. Blend until smooth and set aside in a bowl.
3. Blend the Vegetables: In the same blender, add the chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Blend until finely chopped but not puréed.
4. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the blended watermelon, combine the chopped vegetables. Mix well to blend the flavors.
5. Add Seasoning: Stir in lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper for a hint of heat.
6. Chill Time: Place the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If you’re short on time, serve immediately, but chilling is recommended!
7. Serve: When ready to serve, give the gazpacho a good stir. Pour it into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.
