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!

1medium cucumber peeled and diced
1/2yellow pepper seeded and diced
2sliceswhite bread chopped
1/4cupextra-virgin olive oil
2tablespoonsred wine vinegar
1clovegarlic minced
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
=====
extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Stir all ingredients, through garlic, together in a large bowl. Transfer to a blender to blend until smooth, 30 seconds. Pulse, for a chunkier consistency.
Serve, chilled, in small bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly chopped basil.
