Want to tenderize that steak without beating it with a mallet?

Gazpacho is always in Gena's fridge during the summer.

Tomatoes are in season and that means summer is officially here! Homegrown tomatoes straight from your garden or farmers market are so full of flavor; something as simple as a drizzle of oil, good balsamic and fresh herbs are all you need to make a spectacular side dish.

Rarely will you not find a big bowl of fresh gazpacho in my fridge during the summer months. It is easy to make and will stay fresh for several days.

Why do I love this chilled Spanish soup so much? You can easily make any recipe your own by adding or substituting different herbs, vinegars, fruits or vegetables -- so no batch will taste the same. Create a thicker gazpacho by pureeing toasted bread in the soup or serve fresh focaccia on the side for dipping.
