Green Gazpacho Recipe
Description
This Green Gazpacho recipe begins by letting chopped green tomatoes, seeded cucumber, green pepper, onion, parsley, and garlic rest with salt to draw out their flavors. Then vegetable broth, olive oil, fresh lime juice, and white balsamic vinegar are added before blending to a smooth consistency. The balance of tart lime and vinegar brightens the natural freshness of the vegetables, while the olive oil provides a silky mouthfeel. The soup can be served immediately or chilled for up to three days, making it a convenient, cool starter or light meal during warmer weather. Garnishes like microgreens, parsley, black pepper, or a swirl of yogurt offer visual appeal and complementary flavors to the refreshing base.
