This roasted red pepper gazpacho is refreshing, delicious and super simple to make! It’s definitely a summer dish and while it’s currently December and I am freezing at the moment, I am finally putting this recipe in that I wrote during the summer and made with my garden fresh ingredients. Nothing beats a garden fresh tomato!
This recipe and the pictures are making me think about the hot summer days, the summer nights and soaking up the sun and fun and how much I love and miss summer!
You can totally turn this dish into something hot too, if you aren’t a cold soup person, but it really does showcase the tomatoes and cucumber is a fresh and amazing way!
