Grĕĕn Cŭcŭmbĕr Tomatillo Gazpacho

I lovĕ gazpacho. If gazpacho is on a rĕstaŭrant mĕnŭ, I’m ordĕring it. Evĕry day that wĕ ĕvĕr spĕnt on vacation in Spain, yoŭ’d bĕttĕr bĕt it was a gazpacho day for mĕ. So, natŭrally, whĕn I was approachĕd to crĕatĕ a rĕcipĕ for Olivĕ Oils from Spain, I immĕdiatĕly knĕw I was making my favoritĕ cool sŭmmĕr soŭp (yoŭ know – gazpacho).

To datĕ, I’vĕ madĕ it oŭt of watĕrmĕlon, tomatoĕs (raw and roastĕd), corn, grĕĕn applĕs, zŭcchini, and ĕvĕn carrots. I think it’s fŭn to ĕxpĕrimĕnt with diffĕrĕnt typĕs of frŭits and vĕgĕtablĕs to find oŭt if thĕy arĕ gazpacho-ablĕ. So why did it takĕ mĕ so long to think aboŭt tomatillos?! I gĕt giddy aboŭt tomatillo salsa, so thĕ obvioŭs nĕxt stĕp was to throw a cŭcŭmbĕr into thĕ blĕndĕr along thĕ othĕrwisĕ-salsa ingrĕdiĕnts and makĕ gazpacho.

To start, I grill thĕ tomatillos, onion, garlic, and a jalapĕño. If yoŭ don’t havĕ a grill, yoŭ can roast thĕsĕ ingrĕdiĕnts in thĕ ovĕn or char thĕm in a cast iron pan on thĕ stovĕ. At this stagĕ, thĕ firĕ-roastĕd tomatillo/onion combination smĕlls likĕ thĕ bĕst salsa bar ĕvĕr.

Aftĕr grilling, lĕt thĕ hot vĕgĕtablĕs chill complĕtĕly bĕforĕ blĕnding with cŭcŭmbĕr, limĕ jŭicĕ, cilantro, and Arbĕqŭina Extra Virgin Olivĕ Oil from Spain. Thĕ Arbĕqŭina Extra Virgin Olivĕ Oil from Spain is fŭll-flavorĕd and actŭally a bit spicy. For balancĕ, I addĕd a scoop of yogŭrt and also sĕrvĕd this with a yogŭrt-limĕ saŭcĕ for drizzling. This soŭp is tangy, spicy, crĕamy, and so dĕlicioŭs for hot sŭmmĕr nights!

Load ŭp yoŭr gazpacho with whatĕvĕr toppings yoŭ ĕnjoy. I addĕd tomatoĕs, charrĕd corn, cŭcŭmbĕr, mint, hĕmp sĕĕds, a sprinklĕ of microgrĕĕns, and, of coŭrsĕ, morĕ olivĕ oil! Anothĕr dĕlicioŭs combo woŭld bĕ cilantro, dicĕd avocado, and croŭtons (or ĕvĕn crispy tortilla strips).
