Veggie, Papaya and Watermelon Gazpacho with Jalapeno

Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho Sweet and savory, juicy and with a hint of spicy jalapeno kick, this detoxifying Veggie, Papaya and Watermelon Gazpacho is perfect for rehydrating and refueling in the heat of summer. The raw fruits and veggies deliver a mega serving of skin-protecting and anti-aging antioxidants vitamins A and C while the jalapeno contributes more than just a spicy kick. And the capsaicin in jalapeno peppers has potent cancer protecting benefits as well as anti-inflammatory properties. It really is the perfect clean eating summer soup!

Watermelon Gazpacho + More

This summer I’ve been making fruit and veggie combo gazpacho recipes quite a bit but I’ve become particularly fond of watermelon gazpacho. Watermelon is ultra-hydrating so it’s the ideal summer food but from a culinary standpoint it also makes the perfect gazpacho soup base. In addition to the recipe below, another favorite is an unbelievably simple but super delicious Tomato Watermelon Gazpacho I make with pureed watermelon and grape tomatoes, minced carrots and fresh basil and cayenne pepper. It’s a crazy good combo. I’ve even started making watermelon beverages. One of my favorite watermelon beverages is the Watermelon “Whole” Juice I made a few months back for a summer-kick off family BBQ. I really do encourage you to think outside of the bowl with gazpacho and experiment with a variety of different fruits and vegetables. There must be 101 different ways or more to create gazpacho! It’s by far one of the simplest of soups to make but I’m hard pressed to think of anything more refreshing on a hot, steamy summer night. I especially like my watermelon gazpacho served with toasted sprouted whole grain bread dipped in avocado oil or spread with fresh avocado.

    This sounds extremely refreshing for a hot day and I love watermelon. I am going to have to try the Watermelon, cucumber and grape salad as well that looks like a office party winner. The vegetable soup looks delicious and now that it is cooling down a little soup sounds really good. You said even the kids liked this recipe is that right? I will let you know how these go over at the next family get together.

    This sounds good, but I will be trying out some of the dinner meal recipes. I eat healthy and I combine diet with excersize, but I find more difficult at dinner time to avoid over eating. After I have worked out and burned calories, I am more apt to over eating with a heavy dinner meal. So I will be trying some of the recipes hoping they whole ingredients fill me up. Come to think of it, I get a sweet craving after midnight, too. So maybe this or another desert recipe will keep me from eating chocolate chip cookies.

    I am well aware of the benefits of vitamins A and C from the fruits and vegetables in this recipe, but to learn the capsaicin in jalapeno peppers has potent cancer protecting benefits makes me love spicy foods even more. I put hot sauce in almost everything that is not sweet, but I imagine a natural spice from a vegetable as opposed to a bottled condiment might taste pretty good on a sweet desert like this. Thank you for this tasty summer treat.

    Oh yum! I’m going to make this this weekend. On Good Morning America today, Emeril was making a gazpacho with tomatoes, strawberries and watermelon. It looked yummy too!
