Ingredients
  

  • Toasted Garlic Herb Baguette warm, crispy bread adds warmth to cold soup
  • Crispy Parmesan Crackers salty, crunchy texture contrasts smooth gazpacho
  • Apple Cider Slaw tangy, crunchy, palate-resetting contrast
  • Grilled Chili Lime Shrimp tender protein with smoky, citrus spice
  • Grilled Parmesan Asparagus smoky, slightly snap with umami from parmesan
  • Sundried Tomato Focaccia soft, chewy bread with tangy tomato pockets
  • Fennel Orange Salad aromatic, bright, and crunchy salad
  • Avocado Cilantro Dip creamy, herby dip balances and contrasts soup
  • Paprika Chicken Thighs rich, smoky protein makes meal substantial
  • Cucumber Mint Dip cool, creamy, herbaceous with tangy yogurt base
  • Chili Lime Corn warm, sweet roasted corn with spicy-citrus zing
  • Mozzarella Tomato Skewers fresh caprese flavors with creamy cheese and basil
  • Arugula Feta Salad peppery greens with salty cheese for brightness
  • Spiced Roasted Chickpeas crunchy, smoky, protein-packed snack or garnish
  • Fontina Tomato Panini warm, melty sandwich with rich cheese and tomatoes

Method
 

  1. Choose two to three sides that balance the main dish, combining fresh or crunchy with starchy or vegetable options, and include a sauce or dip if desired.
  2. Begin preparing sides that take the longest first, such as roasted or grilled options, and finish with quick sides like dips or salads just before serving.
  3. Serve all sides plated alongside the watermelon gazpacho, adding any sauces, dips, or garnishes included with the sides as applicable.

Notes

Add one crisp salad side and serve it separately to prevent a mushy texture and keep the plate balanced.
