recipe - Watermelon Gazpacho

Post by 51_too_young_to_be_old »

My future daughter in law (she will marry my son Dec 18, 2010) was way excited about my new LDL life and is watching closely.  She emailed me this morning a recipe to try that she said is yummy. AND it fits into my lie style well :)

Watermelon Gazpacho

2 cups diced watermelon
2 cups orange juice( you could do a little less orange juice( quarter cup or half cup) if you like the soup a little thicker and less waterey)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 seedless cucumber diced
1 small yellow bell pepper, take seeds out and dice
1 small onion diced
2 garlic cloves mince them
1 small jalapeno pepper take the seeds out and dice( you don't need it but it gives it a kick)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, basil or cilantro (personally cilantro is my favorite but whatever u like)
Salt and Pepper to Taste


Directions

Put 1/2 cup of watermelon, along with the orange juice and oil, in a blender or food processor until pureed. Then put it in a bowl with the rest of the ingrediants . Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Refrigerate over night!!! taste way better

Wither your so right.  :happy:  For the first time in my adult life I BELIEVE I can be a normal weight.  :shocked: ~Not~ hope,  :shocked: ~Not~ wish,  :shocked: ~Not~ dream,  :shocked: ~Not~ try, it is happening. AND I can eat this way forever which is so huge!  :D Food does not have to be ~special~, No logo items in the pantry, I do not need the computer to calculate, I can just live with food... what a concept!    :inlove:
