i don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in dallas, it is HOT. i’m talking record highs. weather like this calls for a special summer recipe that is super easy. i studied abroad in spain during college, and fell in love with gazpacho there. my host family didn’t have air conditioning (like most families in spain), so my host mother would fix gazpacho as a solution to cool us off. it is basically a chilled tomato and cucumber soup, and i hope you will love it as much as i do. here’s what you need:
gazpacho:1 cucumber, halved and seeded
2 red bell peppers, cored and seeded
4 plum tomatoes
1 onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces tomato juice (3 cups)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
process all of the veggies in your food processor.add all of the other ingredients.
pour it into a bowl, stir, and chill.
this recipe serves 8.it is pretty light, and tastes amazing.
i like to enjoy it with a fresh baguette.

I have never had this before. I would taste it though. Sounds good.
so, you don’t cook any of the ingredients, just grind ’em up fresh and cold?
I LOVE gazpacho! I will have to make some this summer. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I have just tried gazpacho and love it…great recipe…I look forward to adding it to my recipe collection.

My favorite summertime dish. I had never tried it until I moved to south Texas – it’s a necessity down there!
