Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho Course: Main Dishes, Soups & Stews, Side Dishes
Diet: Vegetarian, Dairy Free, Vegan

A summer favorite, this Spanish soup makes a refreshing and simple lunch with a green salad and crusty bread or alongside a meze platter. You can sweeten the dish by adding some cubed fresh melon or strawberries. Gazpacho is best served slightly chilled, not ice cold.

SERVES: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe heirloom tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 cucumber, seeds removed, roughly chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup cubed bread (French or rustic bread)
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender (in 2 to 3 batches, as everything will not fit into the blender at once). Blend until very smooth.

2. Place in a bowl, stir the blended batches together and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Taste for salt and black pepper and serve chilled.
