A Gazpacho Recipe to Die For - Women on the Verge

โ†“ Jump to Recipe
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, written and directed by Pedro Almodovar, is a seriously funny film. ย I can't eat gazpacho without thinking about it. ย In the movie, the wife and mistress, plot to "do away with" their cheating husband/boyfriend with a killer gazpacho. https://youtu.be/9D2KAWrAbf0 For those of us who don't speak Spanish, I've included my version of this killer concoction (minus the sleeping pills, thank you very much) below. ย Traditional gazpacho uses stale bread, but I leave it out to keep it low carb.

ย Easy and Easier...

I also like to use fire roasted canned tomatoes. ย They are an easy "go to" if you don't have an abundance of the fresh home grown variety. ย Glen Muir has a wonderful flavor and doesn't disappoint. ย Don't forget to top it off with a squirt of lime and a dash of Tajin. ย Tajin is a lime chili salt sprinkle that really gives it a "zing!"

Tajin is also great on salads, chili, pork, grilled veggies, chicken, etc.
Gazpacho is quick, easy, and super yummy! ย I think it's the perfect summer drink and/or soup. ย It's refreshing, healthy, and deeply satisfying. ย It can be made mild or spicy depending on how you like it.

ย The Presentation of the Gazpacho

Presentation is everything! ย Drink it as a smoothie or eat it as a cold soup by serving your gazpacho in a tall pretty glass or a simple bowl. ย It's vibrant color speaks for itself. ย But if you're feeling creative try putting the red gazpacho in a hollowed out zucchini cup or a sweet bell pepper.
