Free Healthy Recipe - Gazpacho (traditional)

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Low GI, Low sugar

This refreshing summer soup depends entirely on the quality of tomatoes used. Truss, vine ripened or organic tomatoes with a ripe earthy smell and bright vibrant red will make this simple dish taste sensational. Ancient Spaniards would serve cold soup in a bid to combat the heat and rehydrate the body.

Ingredients

3½ cups vine ripened tomatoes

2 red capsicum

1 telegraph cucumber

½ spanish onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp salt

85 ml red wine vinegar

1¼ litres tomato juice

1 tsp tabasco sauce

6 ice cubes

5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Cut the cucumber in half. Peel one half and leave the skin on the other. Cut both halfs lengthways and remove and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the cucumbers and tomatoes and place in a bowl.

Stir in the tomato juice, tabasco sauce and ice cubes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove and discard any unmelted ice cubes. Season with cracked black pepper, drizzle each serve with 1/2 tsp olive oil and serve immediately. Serve immediately.
