Download the easy and delicious Gazpacho recipe to fight the heat!

This cold Spanish soup has a very fresh flavor. Excellently nourishing to keep you going, it’s the best way to relax on a hot summer day.

Gazpacho is often made using tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers. Using vegetable juice for added convenience without compromising that amazing taste, this dish offers a simple boost.

You will need the following items:

  • Fresh Vegetables: The bulk of this delicious soup consists of zucchini, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper (of any hue), and garlic.
  • Bold Seasonings: Basil and parsley, two fresh herbs, provide a crisp touch and cumin a toasty depth of flavor. Nice flavor comes from the squeezed lime juice and the splattered balsamic vinegar.
  • Extra Sweet Twist: Seemingly bold? Dice some watermelon for a touch of sweetness in your gazpacho.

Making gazpacho moves along very quickly:

  1. Get every veggie cut and peeled.
  2. Juice the other vegetables and blend or food processor the tomatoes. Add garlic, vinegar, lime juice and cumin for a flavor explosion.
  3. Beat thoroughly, then whisk in the chopped vegetables and chill for a few hours.

Serving is now my favorite part. These suggestions can help you to enjoy gazpacho more:

  • Drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil for yet more flavor.
  • Chopped up avocado offers a creamy contrast.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Some handmade croutons will crunch it up.

That wraps up the proceedings. This refreshing and easy gazpacho is perfect as a light lunch or midsummer appetiser.
