  • “I gave this recipe 3 stars. This was the first time I tried Gazpacho. I got to try this in my Culinary class. I was able to try another recipe that did not puree the ingredients and I must say I prefer the chunky Gazpacho. This was pretty bland. I don’t know if I would try this again or not. Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)”

  • “Served this last evening to dinner guests…one whom admitted to being a Gazpacho snob!He said that this wasthe best he’s ever had.I agree!I followed your recipe to the letter, adding a dol lop of sour cream and a few slices of fresh Florida avacodo just before serving.It was a show stopper and so light & refreshing before a heavy steak & potato dinner.This will be served often in my home- way too easy, I was almost embarrased to hear all the compliments!Thanks, Molly!”

  • “I made this last night in the extreme heat. I added a little chopped up garlic and it was terrific!”

  • “This was my first attempt at making Gazpacho.It was very good and easy.I didn’t have a green pepper while I was making it, so I subbed a roasted red pepper.By the time I served it I had a green pepper, so just chopped that up for on top along with some chopped cucumbers and a spoonful of sour cream.I served it with crusty bread and cheese for a light dinner. I also forgot the ice water, but my tomatoes were really juicy so I think it might have been a little too thin with additional water.”

  • “It’s hot and humid here, with not too much in the way of air con – this recipe was GREAT! I also added a hot chili pepper to spice things up – fabulous.”

  • “This recipe is excellent by itself, but since I like things on the spicier side I added 2 more cloves of garlic, a jalapeno pepper (minus the seeds), an extra teaspoon of salt, and a handful of fresh basil leaves. Perfection!”

  • “Great flexible recipe! I’ve tweaked it some everytime I’ve made it based on what I’ve got lying around. Try adding some fresh, very ripe melon instead of cucumber. And try a mix of heirloom tomatoes to give it a whole new taste.This has become a staple dish. “

  • “Very simple and pleasant gazpacho recipe which is not as fancy as some but which hits the spot well.”
