Authentic Spanish Gazpacho Recipe

ripe tomatoes

🥗Healthier: heirloom tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are often more affordable and still flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive but may lack flavor.

red wine vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

White vinegar is a budget-friendly alternative.

bread

🥗Healthier: gluten-free bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Stale bread can be used to avoid waste.

If you’re using tomatoes with a tough core like heirloom tomatoes, cut the core out. In a large blender or food processor, add tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic. Blend for 30 seconds until almost smooth.

Add salt, cayenne (optional), sherry wine vinegar and olive oil. Blend for another minute or until completely smooth. Gazpacho should be creamy from the olive oil. Add 2-3 tablespoons more olive oil if gazpacho is too watery, blending again.

Chill for at least 1 hour before serving for best results!
