Classic Gazpacho
3

Serves 4

There's nothing like a cup of icy cold gazpacho for a perfectly refreshing summer lunch on a blistering hot day. (Truthfully, we love gazpacho on lukewarm days too!) Flavorful tomatoes are key here--don't attempt this recipe with unripe tomatoes.

    Method: 

    Put tomatoes, garlic, cucumbers, chiles, red bell peppers, and onions into a large bowl and toss to combine. Working in batches, puree vegetables in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding a little water if mixture seems too thick. Strain pureed vegetables through a medium sieve to remove peels and seeds, discarding any solids. Transfer smooth puree to a large bowl and whisk in juice and salt. Cover and chill well before serving. Garnish with chopped cucumber if desired.
