Notes

  • If using any salt other than Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, including Morton kosher salt, use half the amount listed.
  • The olive oil is prominent in this recipe, so it's important to use a good one. It's like cooking with wine. You don't want to use a cheap wine that you would not enjoy drinking. Whether you use a bold-tasting olive oil or a lighter one is up to you (I'm partial to a bold one). But just make sure it's extra-virgin and of high quality.
  • Chilling this soup is important. It won't be as good if you serve it at room temperature.
  • Gazpacho is one of those dishes that not only keeps well in the fridge - it actually gets better. You can keep it for up to four days, covered, in the fridge, and on the second day, it tastes better than when freshly prepared! Just remember to give it a good stir before serving.
