Summertime Vegan Gazpacho

Prep Time

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Prep Notes

Gazpacho is so easy to make, store and enjoy. Because it’s served cold, it’s a refreshing summer soup that provides ample vitamins & hydration. Unfiltered apple cider vinegar boosts major health benefits including probiotics to help aid digestion and olive oil provides healthy plant based fats.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ripe tomatoes (any variety)

  • 1 cucumber

  • 2 red bell peppers

  • 3 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar

  • ¼ cup cold pressed organic extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tsp sea salt (I love pink Himalayan sea salt)

  • 1 tsp black peppercorns

  • 1 garlic clove (optional)

  • ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Roughly chop the veggies and combine them in a high-speed blender with the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour to really cool it down. I store gazpacho in ball jars for an easy grab-n-go soup.

  3. Add in ½ cup black beans or quinoa and ¼ chopped avocado to complete the meal with added protein, fiber and healthy fats.

  4. Or, use it as a dip for veggies, dressing for a salad or a sauce for grilled chicken or fish.
