Ingredients
Scale
Vegetable Base
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 red onion
- 1–2 cloves garlic
Flavor Enhancers
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Begin by washing and chopping the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Ensure the vegetables are cut into manageable pieces for easier blending.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the chopped vegetables, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until everything is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least two hours. Chilling the Dill Gazpacho intensifies the flavors and makes it extra refreshing.
- Serve: Once chilled, stir the gazpacho again, taste one last time for seasoning, and serve in bowls or glasses. Enjoy this vibrant blend of flavors!
Notes
- Allow your vegetables to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before blending for a richer flavor.
- Pick the ripest vegetables available for the best-tasting soup.
- Blend less for a chunkier texture or more for a silky smooth finish.
- Always opt for fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill can be used in a pinch but lacks vibrancy.
- Always taste as you go and adjust seasoning to suit your palate.
