I left it a little chunky and didn't add any oil. The color wasn't that appealing because I didn't peel the mini cucumbers and use a little green bell pepper and one strip of a spicy pepper, but the taste was good.
Gazpacho
Serves 4 to 6
This gazpacho recipe is super easy to make - just blend and chill! Cold, complex, and refreshing, it's perfect for a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber - peel to improve the soup's color
- 2½ pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 2 fresno chiles, or ½ RED bell pepper, stemmed and seeded - keep everything red.
- ¼ small red onion, rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish (used mint, basil and a little thai basil - great)
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- (½ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling - didn't use this because I prefer chunky; would omit)
- 1¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, for garnish
Instructions
- Finely chop ¼ of the cucumber and reserve for garnish.
- Peel the remaining cucumber, cut into chunks, and transfer to a blender. Add the tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro (or other herbs), vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Season to taste and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Serve the soup with the reserved diced cucumber, fresh herbs, drizzles of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
