Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and chopping all the vegetables into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for them to blend smoothly and ensure an even texture in your Dill Gazpacho.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, dill, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adjusting the texture to your preference—either creamy or slightly chunky.
- Chill the Soup: Once blended, transfer the Dill Gazpacho to a large bowl or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste your Dill Gazpacho and adjust the seasoning as necessary. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or even a splash more vinegar for brightness.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables will make a world of difference in flavor and quality.
- Chill Thoroughly: For the best taste, let the soup chill long enough for the flavors to develop.
- Blend in Batches: If your blender is small, consider blending in batches to ensure everything is mixed well.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skip the garnishes; they add extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Experiment: Don’t be afraid to play around with different ingredients and flavors to find your perfect blend.
