Blend the magic:
โ BLEND everything in the blender: zucchini, melon, lime juice + zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
โ BLEND until perfectly smooth! Too thick? Add a splash of ice water (the texture should be velvety, not a puree!).
The Zen attitude:
โ Pour into a bowl and REFRIGERATE for AT LEAST 1 hour (but if you wait 2 hoursโฆ it's nirvana โ๏ธ).
The big show:
โ Serve VERY COLD in bowls or glasses.
โ Garnish with mint leaves (required for Instagram style) and a drizzle of olive oil if you're feeling fancy. ๐ก The Killer Bonus:
Professional Texture: Strain the gazpacho through a strainer if you want an ULTRA-smooth velvety texture (otherwise, go for the rustic version, it's good too!).
Crunchy Surprise: Add diced raw melon/cucumber or croutons just before serving!
Cocktail Version: Pour into a shot glass with a mint leafโฆ the unforgettable freshness of an aperitif! ๐ฅ
Foodie Tip: Slip a frozen melon cube into each bowl before serving: long-lasting freshness guaranteed!
