What is Gazpacho?
Originating from Spanish cuisine, especially in the southern region of Andalusia, Gazpacho is a light and creamy puree of Mediterranean vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and shallots mixed in with olive oil, a bit of citrus red wine vinegar, salt and pepper and sprinkled with paprika.
Our version gives the classic recipe a more filling and hearty touch by adding in our special Jasmine with Red and Wild Rice blend, which is great for cool summer rice salads. Prepare the rice blend ahead of time and let cool while preparing the puree. Once everything has had time to chill, mix together and enjoy!
This recipe is perfect for vegetarians, meat-eaters and everyone in between! To make this recipe heartier, add egg or shredded chicken on top.
Cool Tips
It is best served chilled to keep you cool on hot summer days!
Adjust the heat level. If you want more heat, add just a touch more hot sauce or feel free to omit the hot sauce from the recipe entirely.
For best taste, try to get your hands on extra virgin olive oil from Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy or Greece. Looking for the perfect side? Try our: how to make rice in rice cooker.
