quick and easy summer gazpacho [recipe]

Simple Summer Gazpacho Recipe

Ingredients

• tomatoes – maybe 7-8 medium
• 1-2 ears of raw corn (1/2 in blender, 1/2 in straight)
• lots of basil – 1+ cups
• 1-2 banana peppers
• 1 small cucumber (optional)
• salt and pepper
• sugar
• vinegar (rice or apple cider) or lemon juice

Method

1. You will need a blender or food processor. Chop the tomatoes, basil, peppers, and cucumber roughly and then roughly blend/process them in your blender/processor. If you like a very smooth puree, blend more; if you like it chunky, blend less.
2. I like to add the corn after blending the rest because I like the kernels whole. It’s also good to blend it in.
3. Add salt and pepper, sugar, and vinegar/lemon juice to taste. This is what makes the flavors come out so add these to your preference.

Do let me know if you try it. Hope you enjoy.
