My grocery stores seem to be stocked high with two things lately. Tomatoes and strawberries! So I thought I would combine the two in this Vegan Tomato Strawberry Gazpacho.
Gazpacho is traditionally a Spanish chilled vegetable chilled soup, so I am taking just a few liberties here. It’s delicious nonetheless. This recipe is made up of simple, fresh and in-season ingredients.
Tomatoes, strawberries, cucumber and red bell pepper are placed into the food processor and pulsed until coarsely chopped. You’ll reserve a portion of this for topping.
The remainder is pureed with vegetable broth, garlic and thyme until velvety smooth. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
Lastly, combine the reserved coarsely chopped mixture with olive oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper. I like to garnish it with a whole strawberry and a sprig of fresh thyme leaves.
A little bit sweet, a little bit savory and a little bit of bite from the red pepper. It’s a really simple, yet elegant recipe. I used these dessert shooters that come with tiny spoons that are just the perfect size! This recipe serves about 6 of these 2.5 oz. dessert shooters.
