Alkaline Diet Recipe: Watermelon gazpacho

Have you ever tried watermelon gazpacho? It’s a delicious, cold summer soup much like tomato gazpacho. But in this case, the watermelon takes the place of the tomato. Watermelon is light, juicy, and a little sweet, making this gazpacho a refreshing summer meal.

You’ll want to make it early in the day so that the flavors have a chance to infuse and blend together. Leave it overnight in your refrigerator and you’ll enjoy the taste that much more!

It’s easy to make, and perfect for a light meal on a hot summer day.
