This vegan watermelon gazpacho gets its spicy kick from fresh jalapeños and chili powder, while diced cucumber and jicama add a cool bit of crunch. Best of all, the recipe comes together in just 15 minutes.

To pick a nice, juicy watermelon, look for the yellow “field spot” that indicates the fruit has been ripening on the ground. When the spot is a creamy yellow color, the fruit is ripe. A juicy watermelon will also feel heavy for its size.

For a hot and smoky day, due to fires in other states; this was very refreshing. The jalapeno add a nice touch of flavor. I will make again.

This is a great recipe, really good cold for hot summer days ! Very easy to make; I used a melon baller & after cutting melon in half just scoop away, done in no time! Yummy for my tummy!!!
