About 11 years ago my dear friend Melisse brought me back this Gazpacho dish from her visit to Spain. She was near the end of her trip and the shop she bought it from didn’t offer shipping so she lugged it through the rest of her travels to fly home with it as a carry on. One of the coolest, most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. The girl must have totally understood my obsession with Gazpacho. Every summer I make Gazpacho and put it in this special dish and I call or text her to thank her.
So I thought I’d share my favorite easy Gazpacho recipe. I’ve tried many different versions and this is super simple and doesn’t rely on store bought tomato juice.
Serve with quickly seared shrimp skewers for a full meal. Oh, and if one of your diners thinks they don’t like cold soup, put out some tortilla chips and watch them dig in!
