Still, those temperatures mean I&#8217;m less likely to be interested in spending much time over the burners of a stove or with the oven on. What better to prepare and eat in the summer than a fresh, cool gazpacho? There&#8217;s nothing I can think of especially when so many of the ingredients are currently in season. This isn&#8217;t your typical tomato base and my inspiration for it came from watermelon with feta and balsamic salad. Get your blender ready and enjoy!\u00a0You can make this without the olive oil, though I find it gives it a better texture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 15 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3 cups watermelon \u2013 cubed<br \/>\n2 cups cucumber \u2013 peeled and diced<br \/>\n\u00bc cup red onion \u2013 small dice<br \/>\n2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil<br \/>\n1 tightly packed tablespoon mint \u2013 chiffonade (plus extra for garnish)<br \/>\n1 tablespoon serrano or other hot pepper \u2013 finely chopped<br \/>\n1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar<br \/>\n1 pinch fresh ground black pepper<br \/>\n\u00bc teaspoon kosher salt<br \/>\n\u00bc cup feta cheese &#8211; crumbled<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place all ingredients except the feta in the jar of a blender.
