It's better to use seedless watermelon for this obviously but a standard seeded melon has better flavor.
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, remove all seeds and ribs, roughly chopped
1 small red onion, roughly chopped
2 very ripe tomatoes, skin and seeds removed
1 small watermelon, scooped out, remove any seeds about 4 cups total
1 cup tomato juice or V8 (preferred)
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp X virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
dash of hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and let flavors blend for a short while. Puree with either a hand blender or in a conventional blender. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Add more watermelon if preferred. Chill and serve cold.
