Ingredients

• 6 medium ripe tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 3 small garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1.5 cups ice-cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the tomatoes. Bring a pot of water to boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small X at the bottom of each tomato. Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to the ice bath. Peel the skins off of the tomatoes.

Step 2

Coarsely chop the peeled tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and ice-cold water.

Step 4

Blend until smooth. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in batches.

Step 5

Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the ground cumin, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 6

Check and adjust seasoning as needed. If the gazpacho is too thick for your preference, add a little more cold water.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, give the gazpacho a good stir. Serve chilled and garnish each bowl with fresh basil leaves.
