Calm & Cool Watermelon Gazpacho

Ingredients:

6 Cups Seedless Watermelon (Diced)

1 Cucumber (Peeled & Diced)

1 Red Bell Pepper (Diced)

1 Small Red Onion (Diced)

2 Medium Tomatoes (Diced)

1/4 Cup Fresh Basil (Chopped)

1/4 Cup Fresh Mint (Chopped)

2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1-2 Tsp Cannabis-infused olive oil (Adjust according to your tolerance and desired potency)

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes. Then, transfer half of the mixture to a blender. Add the basil, mint, red wine vinegar, olive oil, cannabis-infused olive oil, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Now pour the blended mixture back into the mixing bowl with the remaining diced vegetables. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Now just let it chill, cover the gazpacho and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly.

Once chilled, stir the gazpacho and taste for seasoning adjustments. Serve in chilled bowls, garnished with additional basil and mint if desired.

Tips:

Adjust the Cannabis Dosage: If you're new to cannabis-infused cooking, start with a smaller amount of cannabis-infused olive oil and adjust according to your tolerance.

Chill Thoroughly: Gazpacho is best served very cold. Make sure to give it enough time in the refrigerator before serving.

Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients you can find to maximize the flavor of your gazpacho.
