1kg (2lb) Ripe tomatoes (pear tomatoes or on the vine tomatoes), chopped
½ Kg (1lb) Watermelon, peeled and chopped
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 Garlic clove, peeled
1 Medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
¼ Onion, peeled and chopped
1 Italian Green Pepper, cored, seeded and chopped (A small green bell pepper will do if you cannot easily find this variety of pepper)
½ Teaspoon sea salt, or salt to taste
Instructions
Have all the vegetables well washed and all the ingredients prepared as indicated in the ingredients description.
Put all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until you get a very smooth purée. Depending on how juicy the tomatoes are you may want to add some cold water at the end and mix again.
Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. Salt to taste, mix and serve in glasses or in soup bowls.
Garnish with some diced onion, green and red bell peppers and a small drizzle of EVOO. And optionally add some watermelon skewers and toasted bread.
