Description
A refreshing, chilled soup blending juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and mint for a sweet, cooling summer treat. Perfectly light, vibrant, and satisfying.
Ingredients
4 cups seeded watermelon, chilled
1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cubing the watermelon and chilling
Combine watermelon, cucumber, mint, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender.
Blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky texture (optional).
Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional mint and cucumber ribbons.
Notes
Use fully ripe, chilled watermelon for best flavor.
For a textured version, pulse the blender instead of pureeing.
Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
Serve with sliced cucumbers or watermelon balls as garnish.
