Gazpacho is not only a practical way to make use of varied ingredients from the refrigerator, but it also offers flavour and versatility. It works as an effective method for clearing out the vegetable drawer while managing to prepare a nutritious meal.

The recipe allows for multiple options of green ingredients, although those with particularly potent flavours, such as basil or mint, should be added with moderation or to taste. The key to quality gazpacho lies in the quality of the olive oil used, as well as in achieving a balanced and pronounced acidity.

This acidity is easily achieved with a squeeze of lemon or quality vinegar, according to culinary recommendations.
