VINE-RIPENED HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO WITH ENGLISH CUCUMBERS
Wait until vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes arrive at the farmers market to make this simple soup. Using yellow tomatoes puts a fresh new spin on this Spanish classic. For the best color and flavor, choose deep yellow heirloom tomatoes.
The beauty of gazpacho is that you can marinate the ingredients in the fridge for an hour or even overnight, so all you need to do right before serving is rev up your blender. Garnishes of firm but ripe peaches, avocado and fresh herbs add texture and interest to the bowl.
