Serving Suggestions and Variations
- Gazpacho is a cold soup from Andalusia consisting of tomatoes and other vegetables blended with bread and olive oil. For a lighter gazpacho, omit the bread and oil, but add it if you like.
- You can also add corn, carrots, basil, etc.
- Gazpacho is best the next day, so plan ahead and make it the night before you plan on serving it.
