Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and roughly chop them.

  6. Chill out: Pour your gazpacho into a large bowl or pitcher and pop it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  7. Adjust the consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash of cold water or extra olive oil and blend again.
  8. Serve and enjoy!: Ladle the chilled gazpacho into bowls and enjoy it with crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
