Suggestions for cool summer meals, gazpacho recipe

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

This is my first message to the group, so hello everyone -- I am Iza,

originally from Spain and currently living in the DC area.

 

As a Spaniard, I can't overstate the virtues of gazpacho. So easy, so

healthy, so good. Plus, it lasts for a few days in the fridge. Just make a

large batch and keep it in the fridge for a refreshing pick-me-up at any

time.

 

Gazpacho is best made with a handheld stick blender, but any other kind of

blender will do.

 

Coarsly chop two pounds of tomatoes, half an onion, one green pepper, one

small cucumber (you may want to peel it first). Add three slices of bread,

without the crust. Add water (start with about three cups, you can add more

later to achieve the desired consistency), a generous pour of olive oil, and

a bit of vinegar. Salt to taste. Blend thoroughly, refrigerate, enjoy.

Welcome to the group, Iza. I was just going

to suggest a gazpacho soup. Your recipe sounds

wonderful, and this is such a refreshing soup.

I look forward to seeing more of your recipes.
