Gazpacho is a staple as soon as the good weather arrives. This cold soup made from vegetables becomes an essential in all our summer menus. It is a light, healthy, refreshing dish… And it is also very easy to make. But if you want to get out of the classic Gazpacho and try new flavors today we propose one of the versions of this drink that has been triumphing everywhere for a long time: do not miss this Strawberry Gazpacho recipe.
Gazpacho is one of the best options for both dinner and lunch if we feel like something light, healthy and that also does not take us too much time in the kitchen. Besides, a good gazpacho is always nice and fresh. But to get out of the routine, today we propose to accompany the tomatoes with strawberries, and to elaborate a gazpacho of the most summery with this recipe. In addition, with a sweeter and softer touch.
Strawberry Gazpacho Recipe
To prepare this version of the classic gazpacho we are going to use, as you can imagine, strawberries as the main ingredient. But we are not going to substitute any ingredient with them. We will also use tomatoes (although in smaller quantity than for the Andalusian gazpacho), cucumber, bell pepper, but this time red to add more color to our dish, and a purple onion, which are sweeter in flavor.
What we are going to omit is garlic. Although you can include it perfectly, I personally do not like to combine garlic with fruits. But you will see many other recipes for this strawberry gazpacho that do include it, so if you like it, don’t hesitate to use it.
In addition, we are going to substitute the vinegar for red wine vinegar, which will combine better with our dish. The rest of the preparation is exactly the same. Wash the ingredients very well, peel those that need to be peeled, and grind everything very well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Once ready, we are going to strain it to obtain a smooth gazpacho, without lumps. And now we have ready this wonderful Strawberry Gazpacho. A fantastic option of the most colorful and rich for a very healthy dinner.

How to serve Strawberry Gazpacho
To this gazpacho we can also add some bread from the previous day, previously soaked, if we want a thicker version. This will be very useful if we want to serve it as a first course, or as a dinner, and make this gazpacho a stronger and more complete dish. For it, it will be very well, besides making it a little thicker, to serve it with the classic croutons.
In this case, as croutons, we can choose some diced cucumber, strawberries, tomato, pomegranate, purple onion…
You can also serve it in small glasses, as a drink, as an accompaniment to the main menu. In this case, simply decorate it with some mint leaves and a slice of cucumber.
Another option to accompany your strawberry gazpacho is with slices of toasted bread. It is much better if it is cereal or pip bread, as it will add a very nice touch.
Other options for Gazpacho
Like the classic gazpacho, this version is also very versatile, and we can elaborate many different recipes simply by changing or adding some ingredients. For example, with a touch of lemon (just the juice) we will add a very refreshing touch to the strawberry gazpacho. Also, this citric touch will look great with mint leaves.
If you want to give it a creamier and smoother touch, try adding an avocado to your strawberry gazpacho. It will provide a very good smoothness, especially if you want to serve it as a cream, to be eaten with a spoon.
If you prefer to add an aromatic herb, one of the herbs that will combine best is coriander. You can also add cilantro and lemon, both ingredients will make your recipe a more citric and refreshing gazpacho.
