This twist on gazpacho is an unexpected first course, a new idea for brunch, or a great summer dessert. It is interesting enough just topped with grated lemon zest and snippets of fresh mint, or it can be topped with flake salt or finely diced honeydew and cantaloupe for drama and texture. Diced strawberries and a dollop of Greek yogurt would also be nice.
I thought it was delicious. The only unfortunate thing was that after straining, I didn't have 5 servings - more like 2.5. This doesn't taste as healthy as it is.
This was Memorable!!!! I used 1.25 lbs of grapes, Oberweiss Lemonade instead of grape juice (this gave it a wonderful tang), used 1/2 of a jumbo lemon's juice (more than 2 Tbls). Used the zest of the whole jumbo lemon. I did not strain it and I don't think you need to--I processed it til smooth and we enjoyed it thick. This was outrageously wonderful. I'd say this is 2-4 servings because way too good to only have 1/2 cup per person.
Light and delicate - and simple to make. Next time I am going to try one of the suggestions for increasing the "drama and texture."
So easy and so delicious! The recipe suggests this will make 5 servings, but they will be small. Next time I'm going to double the recipe (or triple it!) because this is yummy!
