Recently, I mentioned meeting Patricia of Echalote&Co. We had fun matching flavors and putting our ideas together in a large bowl to prepare two delicious, complementary recipes that are vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free.
A fresh and well seasoned gazpacho
The secret to a tasty gazpacho is the seasoning and to use other in-season vegetables to add flavor. Spices, garlic and onion also play an important role in combining flavors. The quality of ingredients matters enormously. If you have tasty, ripe tomatoes, then your gazpacho will be incredible!
Remember to make it ahead of time. It tastes better after being chilled in the refridgerator before serving. The cooler the better and then you have a refreshing summer dish.
Pair this recipe with our gluten- and lactose-free vegetable waffles for an even better taste experience!
Is your mouth watering? Then let’s get started on our gazpacho!

Ingredients

Instructions
- Rinse and seed all vegetables for the best taste, a smoother feeling in your mouth, and ease of digestion.

- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth–about 1 minute.
Chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Notes
