DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE GAZPACHO

Deceptively Simple Gazpacho image

A perfect summer dish. In a chilled bowl with a wedge of lemon on the side, Gazpacho is very classy looking. I learned this recipe in 7th grade when a woman from Spain visited our class during "International Week". She made it in front of us and it took about 10 minutes. About 8 years later, I remembered the recipe on a really hot day, and I've never had any leftovers regardless of how many batches I make.

I start w/ a little add more after I've mixed it all up.
Use the"chop" or"grate" function until the gazpacho is soupy but still has some good sized chunks.
Taste and then add more salt, pepper, oil or basil to your preference.
I usually serve this*very* cold as a summer appetizer or meal w/ tabasco and parmesean cheese on the side, and some good crostini or bread.
