Watermelon Gazpacho

I know that it’s already September and that summer is at an end, which is very sad.  But I wanted to squeeze in one last summer recipe because I don’t want to accept that it’s over. This Gazpacho was posted on the Dr Oz website, as soon as I heard the title, I knew I had to try it.  Oh, it’s only 85 calories per 1 cup serving.

Ingredients

• 5 cups cubed watermelon (one cup cubed small)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp cashew butter
•  2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp lime zest
• 2 tsp agave (obviously we use Xagave)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 small Vidalia onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup diced English (seedless) cucumber
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 yellow pepper diced
• 1 green pepper diced
• 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup greek (strained) yogurt

Steps:

Puree the 4 cups of (larger cubed) watermelon, the orange juice, jalapeno, cashew butter, lime juice and zest and the Xagave until very smooth.

Stir in the remaining watermelon, the onion, cucumber, blueberries, yellow and green peppers, tomatoes and cilantro.  Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate covered for at least one hour.

Ladel into individual bowls and top with a dollop of yogurt.
