When temperatures rise, gazpacho quickly becomes a must-have. But this time, we’re giving it a seasonal twist with an ingredient (which, admittedly, you wouldn’t necessarily expect in a cold soup): strawberries! Paired with tomatoes, they add a fruity, slightly sweet note that works surprisingly well. Basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar round out the dish to create a fresh, fragrant, full-of-character starter. It’s the kind of recipe you can whip up in just a few minutes and that always makes a great impression at aperitif gatherings or as a starter. Original without being complicated, this gazpacho is a wonderful way to enjoy strawberries in something other than a dessert ;)
