The mangoes, melons, and nectarines, along with the cucumber, give the gazpacho a sweet spin. Don't seed the jalapeño if you like a soup with more zip.

We love this recipe. It's so much more flavorful than traditional gazpacho. Anyone who knows anything about gazpacho will know that it requires a lot of chopping, but you get such a lot of it, it's worth it. I substituted peaches for the nectarines, since I had a bounty of peaches from my tree, and it was so delicious!07/18/07

I made this as 1st course for elegant dinner party. Everyone raved about it. I skipped the honeydew and just doubled the cantalope. The downside: a lot of chopping. The upside: prepared & plated before guests arrived. Served it with other cooking light recipes: zesty 3 bean & roasted corn salad and grilled orange & bourbon salmon.07/16/06
