Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing your tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, and onion thoroughly. Chop them into rough chunks; this will make blending easier.
- Blend the Base: In a large blender, add the chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, garlic, and onion. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. You can blend in batches if your blender is small.
- Add Seasoning: Once blended, add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend again briefly to combine everything. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Chill: Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but longer if possible. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Give the gazpacho a good stir before serving. You can garnish it with fresh herbs like basil or parsley, diced cucumber, or croutons for added texture. Enjoy in chilled bowls!
