    Where is gazpacho from?

    Gazpacho is traditionally made from tomatoes and comes from Spain. It’s a soup but served chilled.

    Since tomatoes are considered a nightshade, I used watermelon and cucumbers for the soup. I added some apple cider vinegar to give it a little acidity like you’d find in tomatoes.

    How long can you keep gazpacho in the refrigerator?

    You can store this dish in the fridge for about 2-3 days.

    Can you freeze gazpacho?

    Technically, you can freeze this soup. However, the texture of the watermelon and cucumbers may change. So, my answer to this is, it depends on your tastes. I've never tried it though. If you do, make sure to come back and leave a comment so I know how it turns out.

    How to make AIP Watermelon Gazpacho

    1. Combine the 1 cucumber, onion and dill into a high-speed blender and puree.

    2. Next add the remaining ingredients and pulse until just pureed. You can totally blitz it but then you’ll lose the pretty color of the watermelon.

    3. Place in the refrigerator until chilled then serve with optional garnishes.

    Tips for making the BEST AIP Watermelon Gazpacho

    • Use a high-speed blender to make the soup smooth.
    • This is the exact blender I use.
    • Use the best produce available. If the watermelon isn’t sweet or the cucumbers are bitter then the soup will reflect that.
