Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ripe roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ of a red onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspon Salt, plus more to taste
- ½ cup of olive oil
Instructions
- To the cup of a blender, add the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Blend for two minutes.
- While blending, add in the vinegar and salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue to blend for another minute until a creamy and airy consistency is achieved.
- Using a strainer, strain the mixture into a bowl with a lid. Use a spoon to move the mixture around the strainer to continue to let the mixture flow into the bowl. Discard the pulp left in the strainer.
- Cover the bowl with the lid (or a large plate) and place it in the refrigerator for 5 hours or overnight for a richer flavor.
- Serve cold and drizzle some olive oil as garnish.

Notes
- Use fresh, in-season ingredients: Gazpacho tastes best during tomato season and when using the freshest, ripest ingredients.
- To adjust the consistency: Blend it to your desired texture (chunky, slightly chunky, or smooth). Be careful not to over-blend it, though, otherwise it can become thin and watery.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil: By doing so, the texture is lighter and airier.
- Leave the soup to chill: It will taste better and allows time for the flavors to marinate, the foaminess to dissipate, and the harsh, raw flavor of the onion and garlic to mellow into a rich, full-bodied vegan gazpacho.
