Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Gazpacho.
Step 1
Start by gathering a large bowl and adding in your diced fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumber, vibrant red bell pepper, chopped green onion, spicy jalapeño, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Sprinkle in some salt, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavors.
Step 3
Next, grab your blender and combine the cherry tomatoes, a splash of extra-virgin olive oil, zesty lime juice, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Step 4
Blend this mixture until it’s beautifully smooth and velvety.
Step 5
Now, strain this blended concoction into your tomato-cucumber mixture, giving it a good stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 6
For an extra creamy texture, transfer one-third of this mixture back into the blender and blend until smooth again.
Step 7
Pour this back into the bowl with the remaining mixture and stir thoroughly to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
Step 8
Cover your gazpacho and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours; this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 9
When you’re ready to serve, take a moment to taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and black pepper if needed.
Step 10
Finally, ladle the chilled soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 11
Enjoy this refreshing dish that’s perfect for warm days or any time you crave a light, delicious meal!.
