While the cool kids at school crunched on dreamy crisp sandwiches, I cursed my Spanish mother for sending me off with heaping flasks of gazpacho.<\/p>\n<p>It was only in my 20s that I realised this ice cool, veg-packed wonder-soup was actually friggin\u2019 delicious (and oh so nutritious). So I gathered the Gousto gods and together, we brought back my mum\u2019s classic recipe \u2014 and gave it a fruity twist, just for you.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: this works surprisingly well with a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/three-crisp-sandwiches-youll-love\">crisp sandwiches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients (Serves 4)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">400g plum tomatoes<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 small watermelon<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1\/2 cucumber, sliced<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 red pepper<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 garlic clove<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 jalape\u00f1o<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 tsp cumin<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">2 &#8211; 3 tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1\/2 lemon (juice only)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1 tbsp sherry vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Method (10 mins)<\/h2>\n<p><b>Step 1:<\/b> Place your watermelon on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the top off and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Put the watermelon in the fridge while you make your gazpacho.<\/p>\n<p>Note: You\u2019ll need 400g of watermelon flesh plus extra for garnish.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: <\/b>Add your tomatoes, chopped watermelon flesh, sliced cucumber, pepper, \u00bd the jalape\u00f1o and garlic to a blender. Then blitz until smooth.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: <\/b>Season your soup with cumin, salt, pepper and sherry vinegar. Then top it all off with a glug of olive oil and lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: <\/b>Put the gazpacho in a jug and leave it in the fridge for an hour, so it\u2019s ice cold before serving. Once you\u2019re ready to serve, pour the soup into your carved out watermelon and garnish with the remaining jalape\u00f1o, finely chopped, a few small cubes of watermelon and a drizzle of olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Make sure your watermelon stands up straight before adding your gazpacho. if it&#8217;s a bit wobbly, you can cut the base to make it flat but be careful not to slice all the way through (no-one wants gazpacho raining on the kitchen floor).<\/p>\n<p>Want more Spanish-style tapas?
