Notes

  1. Consider trying other seasonings like paprika or ginger. 
2. The watermelon can be left out if you like a more stringent tasting gazpacho. Alternatives to add a bit of sweetness include several grapes or a peeled and cored sweet apple. 
3. Red wine vinegar can be replaced with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
4. Ingredients can be modified to suit your tastes.
