Today’s Seasonal Recipe: Summer Berry Gazpacho

As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, I find myself craving light and refreshing dishes that celebrate the vibrant flavors of summer. Today, I’m excited to share with you my unique twist on a classic Spanish dish – Summer Berry Gazpacho. This chilled soup is a delightful blend of sweet and savory, perfect for a hot summer day.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 200g fresh strawberries
  • 150g fresh blueberries
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 500ml vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • blender
  • mixing bowl

To start, combine the strawberries, blueberries, cucumber, red onion, tomato, red bell pepper, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Let the ingredients marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the mixture has marinated, transfer it to a blender and add the vegetable broth. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.

Taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or a splash of red wine vinegar to brighten the flavors. Once you’re satisfied with the taste, transfer the gazpacho to a large pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.

When ready to serve, give the gazpacho a good stir and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with a few extra berries, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this Summer Berry Gazpacho as a refreshing starter or light meal on a hot summer day.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. One serving of this Summer Berry Gazpacho is approximately 150 calories.

A unique tip for this gazpacho is to serve it with a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt on top. The creamy yogurt adds a lovely contrast to the bright flavors of the berries and vegetables, taking this dish to the next level.

I hope you give this Summer Berry Gazpacho a try and make it your own with your favorite seasonal fruits and vegetables. It’s a simple yet elegant dish that celebrates the bounty of summer produce in a refreshing and delicious way. Enjoy!
