This Spanish Gazpacho is proof that simple really is best. Peak season tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers come together in perfect harmony with a touch of sherry vinegar and rich olive oil to create a beautifully complex chilled tomato soup. The Single Origin by Simply Organic Spanish Paprika amplifies all of the fresh flavors and adds a gorgeous depth of sweetness to the entire dish. Single Origin by Simply Organic Spanish Paprika is grown in Murica, Spain, free of toxic pesticides. The peppers used in this paprika are of the Bola variety (sometimes known as the Cascabel pepper); they are cherry-shaped and have little to no heat, but are chock-ful of bright flavor and have a lovely semi-smoky aroma.
To tie the dish together, we recommend serving the chilled soup with freshly grilled bread topped with olive oil and Single Origin by Simply Organic Spanish Rosemary which features bright, piney notes. Just one taste transports you to the hills of Valencia where it’s grown in the wild!
