Ultimate Chilled Gazpacho

Ultimate Chilled Gazpacho is cool, bright, and refreshing, with ripe tomatoes leading a tangy blend of cucumber, red onion, and a garlicky kick. A splash of red wine vinegar and silky extra-virgin olive oil round it out, creating a balanced soup that’s light yet flavorful. Serve it on hot afternoons, as a starter for summer dinners, or alongside crusty bread for a light lunch.

  1. 1

    Prepare a bowl of ice water.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cut crosses into the bottoms of the tomatoes with a sharp knife, and blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes until the skins start to loosen. Lift the tomatoes out with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into the ice water.

  3. 3

    Peel the tomatoes and cut out the seeds over a bowl so no juice is lost; discard the seeds.

  4. 4

    If the cucumber is organic, leave the peel on; otherwise, peel it. Remove the cucumber seeds and roughly chop it.

  5. 5

    Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic, and red wine vinegar in a food processor or blender; blend until the gazpacho reaches the desired texture, either coarsely chopped or finely pureed. Slowly add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Puree again briefly.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate the gazpacho until cold, at least 1 hour. Take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
