Ingredients

Instructions
- Place the watermelon, tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, red onion, and garlic into a large bowl and sprinkle the salt over the top. Let the bowl rest on your counter for 30 minutes, or in your fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Transfer the veggies and their juices to your blender. Add the olive oil, sherry vinegar, mint, and basil and blend on high until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Serve the gazpacho topped with small cubes of watermelon, some feta, mint, and basil.

Notes
- We remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper so that it only gives the gazpacho the tiniest tingle of heat. If you're very sensitive to spice, feel free to omit it.
- We use good-quality sherry vinegar, which has a sweet and mild taste. If yours tastes quite vinegary, reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon. You can also substitute 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
