View ProfileEven if you’ve had gazpacho before, you’ve never had it quite like this. Fresh strawberries add distinctive sweetness to Chef Einat’s take on the beloved staple of Spanish cuisine. She blends them with raw and roasted tomatoes, zesty garlic, a touch of jalapeño, fresh thyme, extra-virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, which adds a different kind of tangy sweetness, the tops the soup with crisp cucumber and red onion. The cool, refreshing result is perfect for a hot summer day. And you don’t even have to turn on the oven or microwave to enjoy this meal—just sip straight from the fridge.
