I remember one of my favorite things to eat/drink when I lived in Spain was gazpacho. They sold it by the carton there, and it is one thing I missed most when I came back to America. After ten years I finally decided to try my hand at making my own version of the Spanish cold soup. It's perfect for a raw food diet and it's so delicious! Especially on a day like today -- beautiful, sunny, and 85! And in case you're wondering, it's January, by the way. I actually felt like I was back on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
I modified the recipe from a New York restaurant called David Burke and Donatella's. I've never been there, but their version of Gazpacho is wonderful!
2 ½ large tomatoes, quartered
¼ cucumber, diced
¼ - ½ red pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon sea salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup olive oil
Blend all ingredients in a blender.
Dream that you're sipping this on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea... and enjoy...
