Strawberry Gazpacho
Before smoothies were trendy, the Spaniards were already blending up gazpacho, centuries ago. A cold, savory soup made from raw vegetables, it’s the original drinkable meal.
This Strawberry Gazpacho using our Strawberry Marinara is refreshing and vibrant. The perfect treat for hot summer days (and nights). Bursting with sweetness of ripe strawberries, freshness of tomatoes, and just a hint of heat from Calabrian chilies, it's a delightful twist on a classic (and coveted) recipe. Our Strawberry Marinara makes prepping your own gazpacho at home effortless any time of the year.
