Sunshine Gazpacho
Originating from Spain, gazpacho is a chilled soup that typically combines tomatoes with other fresh veggies and acidic components. This summery twist on the classic dish calls for yellow heirloom tomatoes, apples, and cucumbers for a refreshing and satisfying golden soup. Tabasco and chile pepper turn up the heat in this easy lunchtime meal. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon, this version is infused with a hint of sweetness thanks to the juicy apples and crisp cucumbers that help form the base. Yellow heirloom tomatoes lend it a beautiful golden hue, but any color of ripe summer tomato will taste great. Add a few splashes of Tabasco sauce to turn up the heat and then enjoy this bowl of liquid gold!
