Weding, H. 2024, Gazpacho, Extension | University of Nevada, Reno, Recipes

Gazpacho is a fantastic dish for several reasons. Its refreshing cold temperature makes it ideal for hot days, offering a burst of fresh flavors from ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, and garlic. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also packed with nutrients, as tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene, while cucumbers and peppers add essential vitamins and minerals. The dish is versatile, allowing you to adjust the texture and flavor with herbs, spices, or bread. Moreover, gazpacho is easy to prepare since it doesn’t require cooking—just blend the ingredients and let it chill. With its roots in Spanish cuisine, particularly from Andalusia, it’s also a wonderful way to enjoy traditional Spanish flavors.
