Melon gazpacho

Melon gazpacho

No heat required–because you're hot enough.

If you don’t like the idea of cold soup, let this recipe change your mind. 

Sweet, salty, and a little bit spicy, this fresh and cooling melon gazpacho adds a much needed chill to even the hottest of days. 

And, if there was ever a week to give this a try, this one is it.

Gazpacho to the rescue. 

    Here's the method:

    Serves 4

    • Roughly chop all your ingredients and add them to a large bowl.
    • Juice your lemon and add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil to your bowl of chopped ingredients. 
    • Mix well and leave in the fridge overnight to macerate.
    • Blend with an immersion blender or pop into a standard blender or food processor.
    • Add water until the soup is to the desired consistency, adjusting the seasoning with salt and more lemon if needed.
    • Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few extra cubes of melon.

    If you're after more of a peppery kick, then we'd recommend using our Spanish extra virgin olive oil from Marina in Andalucía.

    The ultimate Greek salad

    Made for a sunshine moment. Simple, quick, and oh so delicious, Greek salad is made (or broken!) by the freshness of the ingredients. This is a dish that really should be eaten in summer when tomatoes and cucumbers are in season.  This recipe is from our Cretan queen—Maria. We've sat around Maria's table in Crete many times learning her recipe for the perfect mix. Maria opts for the addition of red wine vinegar for a little more acidity and depth of flavour.
