Iced Herb Gazpacho
Serves 4 to 6
This healthy, easy summer recipe is best when it’s made from garden-fresh ingredients. Chill for at least an hour or two before serving.
6 large tomatoes
4 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1/2 cucumber
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 scallions, chopped
3 sprigs basil leaves
3 sprigs cilantro leaves
3 sprigs parsley leaves
Salt and pepper
1. In a food-processor bowl, roughly purée the tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, red pepper flakes, vinegar and oil. Add scallions and herbs, then pulse just until they’re chopped. (If you let the machine run, you’ll end up with a brownish mess.) Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. If possible, chill overnight before serving so the flavors can blend.
