Ingredients

For the Gazpacho

1 clove of garlic
2 cucumbers (preferably peeled)
3 ripe tomatoes
1 medium onion
1 small jar of pimentos (drained)
1 jar of sliced mushrooms (drained)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1 large can of tomato juice
1 teaspoon of sugar (optional, to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Container: Choose a covered container that will fit nicely in your refrigerator. Rub the inside with the peeled garlic clove to infuse a subtle garlic flavor into the soup.
Chop the Veggies: Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, pimentos, and mushrooms into small pieces for a delightful texture.

🥗 Tip: Leave the cucumbers unpeeled if you enjoy the extra crunch and nutrients from the skin!
Mix It Up: In the prepared container, combine the diced vegetables, freshly ground pepper, olive oil, white vinegar, and optional sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Add the Juice: Pour in the tomato juice and give it another stir.
Chill Out: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

❄️ Pro Tip: Gazpacho tastes even better the next day, so consider making it a day ahead!
Serve Cold: Enjoy your chilled Gazpacho straight from the fridge! Garnish with extra diced cucumbers or a drizzle of olive oil for an elegant touch.

Variations

Spice It Up: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick of heat! 🌶️
Herb It Up: Toss in fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley for added flavor.
Creamy Option: Blend a ripe avocado into the mixture for a creamier texture and an extra healthy boost. 🥑
Low-Sodium: Use low-sodium tomato juice and skip the added sugar for a healthier dish that's still packed with flavor.

Enjoy this delightful dish that’s as nutritious as it is refreshing! Cheers to summer meals that won't heat up your kitchen! 🥳
