There used to be a restaurant in N.Y.C., I think it was Maxwell Plum, that served it with an ice cube in the center and a shot of vodka mixed in—trés elegant?

I love gazpacho! My mom’s is like a salad/soup: tomato juice for liquid, and chopped onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, garnished with some sliced black olives—I usually some hot sauce or minced jalapeños for spice. Great for a hot summer day!

I use a similar recipe, I add Corn, canned chipotle in Adobo, and red onion for a southwest feel.

Marinated artichokes, diced green olives, capers, a bit of feta to garnish, and some cumin make a nice italian/greek flavor.

Gotta admit, I’m not much of a fan though - its basically like eating a bowl of salsa :-p

I live in Arizona, and with the summer heat, I make a big pot of gazpacho almost every week - it’s super easy to take for lunch along with half a sandwich or some hard boiled egg whites (or just about any thing else that will add some protein to the meal) and it’s cheap and cooling.

I use a small-medium red onion because I love the flavor and avoid the green bell peppers because I don’t love them. Otherwise, my recipe is similar, except I only blend the tomatoes, onion and garlic - the other stuff I chop to make sure I have good texture in it. It’s a love affair I have with gazpacho.

this many destroy the whole “uncooked” part of gazpacho, but try some oven roasted red peppers and onions — carmelized, and the peppers cooked until the skins are black. Adds a great flavor.

Great photo! It looks delicious. Next time, use sherry vinegar instead of lemon juice. Incredibly good.

LOVELY pics! I’ve only had gazpacho once, but that was enough for me to figure out I wasn’t a fan. Should I rethink?

That looks awesome. I love the deep red color.
