Gazpacho de Melon "Melon Gazpacho"
Gazpacho de Melon is a fresh Spanish dessert recipe based on an original classic! This healthy recipe is just perfect for a hot day! What's more, the recipe is a cinch to make! This recipe uses Spanish melons and they have a green skin with a white to light yellow flesh. They are similar to Crenshaw melons. If you can't find these, honeydew melon might work well. I also mix a little mint into this recipe to really bring out the freshness. This is one of my favorites, I suggest it for your next summer dinner party! Enjoy!
Serves: 4-6Preparation time: 15 minutes INGEDIENTS 1/2 Spanish white melon (or honey dew) 1/2 cantaloupe 1 peach 1 tomato peeled 2 TB chopped mint 2 TB extra virgin olive oil DIRECTIONS Peel the melons and discard the seeds.

Give the gazpacho a taste, you might add some sugar if you desire more sweetness. Chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours. You can also add more mint, finely chopped peach, melon or strawberry as a garnish. Enjoy!
