To begin, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Next, stir in the olive oil and red wine vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix and refrigerate the gazpacho for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once chilled, give the gazpacho a final stir and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Serve this Summer Cherry Gazpacho cold and enjoy the burst of flavors with every spoonful.
