Rating: 3.5 stars
  • 7 Ratings

The secret ingredient in this delicious green gazpacho? Ciabatta bread! It gives body to the liquid and thickens the cucumber, melon, and grape juices. Serve as a light summer dinner or as the appetizer for a dinner party. If you’re making the soup ahead, make sure to taste the seasoning before serving, since chilling can change the saltiness of cold food. Pair with a crisp white wine or rosé, and some good tunes on the stereo, because, summer.

Cut remaining half into 1-inch cubes and toss with 1 cup water, oil, lime juice, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Let stand until bread is soggy, about 10 minutes. Place cucumber, melon, grapes, scallions, salt, and soaked bread in a blender and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
