The Texas heat has been creeping higher and higher. The humidity has been no joke either. Sometimes when I come in from working out in the gardens spreading mulch and weeding, I admit, sometimes it’s too hot to cook an extravagant meal over the stovetop. This gazpacho is delicious, refreshing, and easy!
I stumbled across green gazpacho at a local juice bar. It was most refreshing on a hundred and three-degree day. While it was like a glorified smoothie and slightly on the sweet side, I went home to try and replicate a slightly more savory version. Perfect for a summer day!
