I just love summer produce, don’t you?! All of those fresh veggies make for the best dishes that don’t require a lot of cooking or planning. Meals full of simple ingredients that stand alone on their own without a lot of fuss. Case in point this Simple Summer Gazpacho!
The ingredients on their own are relativley simple – fresh vine ripened tomatoes, a nub of garlic, fresh squeezed citrus, herbs and bouillion.
When blended together and left to marinate a bit all of those amazing ingredients make a stunning gazpacho that is perfect for a simple summer dinner, but spectacular enough to take along to summer soirees.
