An easy gazpacho recipe to cool off in the summer. Freshness and tastiness… here we come!

Hi, everyone! My name is Lisa Favre and I am thrilled to be contributing to the KTOT blog. Normally, you can find me on my own blog, Fabulous Habits, where I develop recipes, talk fashion, and share my travel stories.

Every other month, I’ll be giving you a sneak peek of my kitchen and some of the meals I prepare. Today, it is with great pleasure that I share with you my Easy Gazpacho Recipe.

I don’t know why I used to be so intimidated by cooking. Baking has always come naturally to me but culinary art was something I wasn’t always so confident in. I remember trying gazpacho in Spain, during my honeymoon. I thought: “I could never make something like this. I better enjoy it while I’m here!”

You know what? I was so wrong.

I think the fundamental key in cooking is adding that touch of love to each of your recipes. I want my family to remember me by many things… one of them being my meals. I may have been intimidated as a newlywed, but this week, I decided to go full force and make my own Easy Gazpacho Recipe.

Get your aprons on and let’s get cookin’! That’ll be an easy one, promise.

How to Make Lisa’s Easy Gazpacho Recipe

The idea with my gazpacho recipe is to prepare all the ingredients (chopping and cutting), dumping it in the blender, and ta-da! All done! (P.S.: You may catch glimpses of taco shells in the photos because I made these as a starter for our… taco night! Yay!
