    Watermelon Dessert Gazpacho

    A watermelon gazpacho is what you make when you became the victim of believing you picked the perfect watermelon. That’s how I came up with a dessert that’s normally served as a Spanish savory soup with tomatoes and cucumbers. I went a different route and used mangoes and agave to make this a new summer classic.

    Watermelon Dessert Gazpacho

    Kenneth Temple
    I recently became a victim of believing I picked the perfect watermelon. Only to get home and cut me a slice to discover that my salivating mouth was about to be disappointed by an unsweetened watermelon. I was not going to let that stop me from eating a sweet delicious treat. That’s how I came up with a dessert that’s normally served as a Spanish savory soup with tomatoes and cucumbers. I went a different route and used mangoes and agave to make this a new summer classic.
