Lazy Gazpacho
5 servings
80 minutes
Lazy gazpacho is a simplified version of the famous Spanish cold soup from sunny Andalusia. Unlike the classic version, it doesn't require long steeping or complicated preparation while maintaining freshness and rich flavor. Its base consists of vinegar, oil, and bread crumbs that create a delicate texture, while garlic and parsley add aromatic depth. Vegetables like ripe tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and green peppers bring pleasant juiciness and lightness. This dish is perfect for hot days when you crave something refreshing and light. Serving it with ice cubes makes it even cooler. Lazy gazpacho is a true savior for Mediterranean cuisine lovers who appreciate convenience and simplicity.
