Gazpacho

Inspired by all the bounty summer seems to offer, I seem to keep chiming in with recipes that embrace all the fresh produce happening in our gardens and showing up at our farmers’ markets.

And true to form, here’s another! If you’ve never had gazpacho, or have never made it…now’s a great time to try!

Although I love this gazpacho (a great summertime soup), I had never made it myself. This weekend I visited one of my very best friends from my college days, and she reminded me that her Spanish family’s age-old gazpacho recipe was one of my favorites!

Donna shared her pinch-and-smidgen version of the gazpacho recipe, and I spent an evening improvising so I could share proportions with you (and make it again someday!).
