For the best gazpacho recipe, we chopped the vegetables by hand, tossed them in a sherry vinegar marinade, and used a fresh-flavored tomato juice.

Nice salad. I´m sure it tastes good, The tomato juice and the Tabasco make it a cocktail, not a gazpacho.
I've never tried this but after watching you I believe I will try it❤
That is not Spanish gazpacho is made! Since it's a summer dish, it's made with fresh ingridients not canned ingridientsm therefore its taste is much, much better. I make it every sumner, in Spain.
Fabulous recipe. Thank you
This looks like a winner! Could I puree the leftovers and freeze for mid winter pick-me-up?
This will be perfect for our after yoga class dinner.
i bought a Dewalt taping knife as a bench scraper. its basically your bench scraper with a nice big rubber handle.
I love it, makes my mouth water while watching, top mine with a little sour cream.
some cayenne 🌶
cilantro 🌱
avo 🥑
and shrimp 🍤
are the last items in my book 📖.
Also, at least organic cuke with ZERO wax 🤢
Excellent recipe , professionally performed!😊
Julia is popping that collar like Ina a lot 😂
gazpacho is meant to have many vegs blended together and few adedded cubed. This is *something*, but not gazpacho.
I guess no one knows…
cucumber,nion, tomato, peppers, vinegar, salt, hot sauce then fridge
Absolutely delicious! Thank you Julia! Loved the recipe so much I'm doubling the batch! 😊
Arnold Rimmer’s last words
my fave soup too!
Tomato season is upon us in the North (Canada) and I am going to be making this on repeat. Your dicing was sublime Julia.
That looks awesome! Trying this now because it's so freaking hot outside!
what knife is being used in this video?
Great stuff Julia… hoorah for Gazpacho!
I've made gazpacho many times using a blender. It never occurred to me to make it by hand. (I agree about your impressive knife skills, Julia.) I'm definitely going to try making it this way. I would probably finish it with a some lime.
Ive never had gazpacho. Always been told its basically cold tomato soup but this looks and aounds great.
Looks like vomit in a bowl. 🤮
Yummy! Lose the plastic wrap…
It’s going to be hot this week , great idea to make this 😊
Add vodka
My favorite! I use my homegrown veggies. I also use V8 juice.
Using summer fresh tomatoes and then using waxed cucumbers makes little sense. When you buy you tomatoes at the farmers market or farmstand, buy their fresh waxless cukes, too. Local farmers here do not wax their foods.
I WOULD RATHER USE HOME MADE TOMATOE JUICE BECAUSE STORE BOUGHT HAS ALOT OF SALT.
JULIA this was the best recipe i am diabetic this is a recipe i love i wish when do other recipes you would offer tips for substitute to lower the fat and sugar in your recipes — this recipe my body loves and i can eat it without guilt A+ on this recipe
What I really love about this is how the with the gazpacho you and I saw that it’s actually so much like my grandma with a really new effort to try. We would often make a pint or two of it and drink it over a long summer afternoon whilst fighting our neighbours.
My mother used to use V-8 juice Instead of tomato juice. The original vegetable V-8 juice
I do not like Gazpacho, but I could watch Julia cook a phone book.
I think my Joy Burger needs to be shared… it's really good. Toasted/grilled bottom bun spread with smashed avocado, burger (I season with Johnny's), choice of cheese, bacon, sauteed or grilled and sliced mushrooms, sour cream spread on top bun. Great with vinegar/oil dressed greens and cherry tomatoes.
That looks delicious.
I usually have Gazpacho in the fridge winter and summer. It is a fabulous diet food. I am looking forward to this version. I usually have thrown everything into the food processor. However your recipe makes every vegetable recognizable. Can't wait to try it.
Sweetie, if I ever win a lottery jackpot of US$1 Billion or more, I will hire you a few other YT chefs to cook for me, rotating on a as-needed basis. I will then be in paradise!
After making, improving, Gazpacho for years, I am happy you got so many things right. 1 Chunks big enough to taste not spun in a blender 'til it becomes baby food. 2 The ice IS to make it thinner and "drinkable" I freeze take-out trays of water so I can ice pick it into shards. 3 Tabasco to make it spicier not those other hot sauces that add salt, vinegar or sugar…4 The right cucumbers. Most folks think this is a tomato soup but the secret star is the cucumber. It's what helps it be refreshing. 5 Yes, most tomato juices will work now that we can't get Welch's tomato juice anymore. It was the BEST for this. (V-8 is way too celery tasting)
Look up gazpacho in various dictionaries and you get a wide array of definitions, from soup to vegetable platter. The guess is gazpacho started as olive oil, salt and mushed garlic to dip(soften) stale bread in a thousand years ago.
I like to use the smaller size of Persian cucumber instead. They are very popular on the West Coast, more crispy and delicious than the Typical American or European counterparts. It will a great option for summer salad ingredients! 😋😉
