Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Tomatoes — Opt for juicy and ripe tomatoes to enhance the taste of the gazpacho.
  • Cucumber — Remove the seeds to prevent the gazpacho from becoming watery.
  • Red bell pepper — Remove the seeds and white pith for a milder flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if the gazpacho is too thick.
  • Serve the gazpacho chilled for maximum refreshment.
  • Experiment with different herbs like mint or parsley for a unique twist.
  • Add a handful of diced avocado as a garnish for added creaminess.

Presentation advice
