½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons sea salt (adjust to taste)
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional, for mild heat)

For the Garnishes (All diced):

Cooking Instructions

Instructions

1. Prepare the Gazpacho Base:

In a high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix), combine the quartered tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, baby pepper, and garlic clove.
Blend on high speed until smooth, approximately 4 minutes, or until the mixture is velvety in texture and fully emulsified.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, then add the sherry vinegar, salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Blend briefly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the gazpacho is creamy and smooth.

2. Chill:

Transfer the gazpacho to a sealed storage container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the soup’s refreshing quality.

3. Prepare the Garnishes:

While the soup chills, finely dice the cucumber, avocado, radishes, sweet onion, celery, and basil.
Rinse and lightly dry the mung bean sprouts, if using.
Store garnishes separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

4. Serve:

Stir the gazpacho well before serving.
Ladle into chilled bowls and top each portion generously with the prepared garnishes.
Adjust seasoning as desired with additional salt, vinegar, or olive oil.
Optional: Serve with crusty bread or a light drizzle of extra olive oil.
