Late Summer Immune-Supporting Gazpacho Recipe

Try this immune-supporting gazpacho recipe from board-certified nutritionist and classically trained chef Mia Rigden.

by Mia Rigden Board-certified nutritionist, classically trained chef This classic Spanish chilled soup is just as refreshing as it is nourishing. With in-season tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion and garlic, this gazpacho is literally bursting with vitamin C to keep you feeling good during the final days of summer. Amplify your immune support with 1000mg of my favorite liposomal vitamin C from LivOn Labs.

Ingredients

  • 2 pound roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • ½ large hothouse cucumber or 2 Persian cucumbers, peeled, deseeded and roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
  • ½ green bell pepper, destemmed, deseeded and roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
  • ½ red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⅓ cup olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • Cherry tomatoes, quartered, for garnish
  • Kosher salt

Directions

  1. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion and garlic to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and sherry vinegar and let sit for 10-30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  2. Then, add them to a high speed blender (you may need to add in ⅔ at first if it’s too much for the blender) with the olive oil and cumin, and blend until smooth.
  3. Using a fine strainer or mesh sieve, strain the liquid to get out any larger chunks. Place in a glass jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  4. Serve with a garnish of finely chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and bell pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
