Ingredients

• 1 large ripe cantaloupe melon
• 1 large English cucumber
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoons honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cantaloupe in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Roughly chop the melon into chunks and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the English cucumber and cut it into pieces. Reserve a few thin slices for garnish, if desired.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the cantaloupe, cucumber, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, fresh mint leaves, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the water and blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning. If the melon is not sweet enough, add the optional honey and blend again.

Step 6

Transfer the gazpacho to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Before serving, stir the gazpacho and check the seasoning again. Pour it into bowls or glasses.

Step 8

Garnish with reserved cucumber slices, a drizzle of olive oil, and a few small mint leaves. Serve cold.
