Easy and delicious! What else could you ask for? I think the key ingredient is the sherry vinegar. Yum! I have used canned tomatoes in the past and it is even easier and still delicious. Make this often.
Gazpacho Andaluz
Centuries ago, gazpacho was made with nothing more than bread, garlic, salt, olive oil, vinegar, and water. After the discovery of America, tomato was incorporated, and today, gazpacho has become a refreshing start to a meal. Olive oil and bread continue to be typical components, but we eliminated bread and cut down on the oil.
