Traditional recipes always inspire me: Gazpacho and a beautiful trip to San Sebastian in Northern Spain brought this one forth. You can taste every ingredient because the formula is uncomplicated and direct. Every vegetable (fruit) is available fresh from the farmer’s market. Plus, you don’t even need a stove!

I created this recipe after a stay in San Sebastian where every bar had a version of Gazpacho on the menu. I love it's spicy fresh quality. It's basically a salad in a cup!
