Traditional recipes always spark my creativity, and this one was born from a memorable trip to San Sebastian in Northern Spain — where gazpacho is practically an art form. This version is refreshingly simple, letting each ingredient shine on its own. With peak-season produce straight from the farmers market and no need to turn on the stove, it’s the essence of effortless, warm-weather cooking.
