Three digits in the valley today, sigh. But soup is still on the menu. Heirloom tomatoes are now in season and I can’t stop buying or eating them! When they get too soft to slice, I make gazpacho, the Spanish cold soup that’s like a salad in the blender, but better. The addition of ground Maisie Jane’s Natural Almonds to this savory dish makes it protein rich and vegan.

Best of all, YOU DON’T HAVE TO COOK ANYTHING!

Served chilled with a slice or two of crusty bread, you’ve got a lovely, light, seasonal meal. Try this ingenious gazpacho recipe from our friends at The Almond Board of California. Tomatoes, cukes and red peppers are all in abundance now, making this dish a great way to eat in season.

Variations:

Garnish your gazpacho with a little chopped cilantro and avocado.
Flavor with a bit of lime juice and cumin powder.
Leave out the serrano pepper and hot sauce if you like it less spicy, or substitute a dash of cayenne.
Substitute Maisie Jane’s Organic Crunchy Almond Butter for the ground almonds.
Make a green gazpacho with tomatillos in place of of red tomatoes and tomato juice, scallions in lieu of onions, and a zucchini squash.

Prepare a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld; gazpacho is souper-super-great served chilled. Mmmm.
