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.

Prepare a bowl of ice water.
- 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
Peel the tomatoes and cut out the seeds over a bowl so no juice is lost; discard the seeds.
- 4
If the cucumber is organic, leave the peel on; otherwise, peel it. Remove the cucumber seeds and roughly chop it.
- 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
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 This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
