Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cold water
  • 3.5 cups tomatoes ripe, rough chopped (about 3 large)
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 cucumber peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • ½ cup basil fresh, chopped
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar red or white vinegar is ok too!
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground to taste

Instructions
 

  • Carefully chop the tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and onions into small, even-sized cubes. Dice up some basil as well. Reserve some for garnish.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, red and green bell peppers, cucumber, basil, onion, and garlic. Blend until completely smooth.
  • With the blender still running, drizzle in the olive oil and sherry vinegar. Add the salt and a few grinds of black pepper. (Note: This photo was taken without the top on and blender was set on pause).
  • Taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.
  • If you prefer a smoother gazpacho, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining bits of skin or seeds. (optional)
  • Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
  • Ladle the gazpacho into bowls and top with your desired garnishes. Garnish with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and basil. (optional)
