This recipe is best when not following fast rules. You should make it to taste. It will depend on how sweet the watermelon is and how perfectly ripened the tomatoes are.

  2. You can puree in small batches until smooth or serve it as is, chunky. I prefer the later and use colorful tomatoes and nasturtium as garnish.
