With this heat, we only want cold dishes, creams and soups such as gazpachos, salmorejos, melon and fruit soups and other dishes that relieve high temperatures. That's why we have prepared a Watermelon gazpacho for children, a refreshing, simple and delicious recipe.
Watermelon gazpacho has several advantages over traditional gazpacho since by not using garlic or pepper in its preparation, children tend to like it very much, that through it they will get used to similar recipes and then they will take each other. Also, since watermelon has a lot of water in its composition, we will hardly need to add more than a splash.
Ingredients for 1 liter of watermelon gazpacho
- 3 quality ripe tomatoes, 1/4 of watermelon (300 g approx), 1/2 cucumber, 50 g of hard bread, cold water, 100 ml of olive oil, salt and a dash of vinegar
How to make watermelon gazpacho
We start by washing the tomatoes and cutting them into pieces. It is not necessary to peel or peel them off because then we will pass the gazpacho through a strainer where the skins and pips will remain. Cut the half cucumber into slices and remove the watermelon peel.
We put everything in the glass of a large blender or kitchen robot, and crush it with the oil and vinegar. At first it will not be necessary to add water until you see what the tomatoes and watermelon have but if we see that it is too thick, we add what we consider necessary.
Once well crushed, we pass the result through a strainer, helping to pass with the back of a pan. After the process, everything that doesn't interest us will be left in the strainer and we will have a watermelon gazpacho ready to enjoy.
Processing time | 15 minutes
Difficulty | Very easy
Tasting
He Watermelon gazpacho for children is a nutritious and refreshing food We like it a lot since it helps the little ones to take fruits and vegetables almost without realizing it. Optionally you can add a piece of pepper or 1/4 of onion but it seems to me that this is how it looks better. When serving you can add some crunchy element or some watermelon balls.
