Gazpacho is a refreshing soup of Spanish origin that has managed to cross borders, probably thanks to its refreshing capacity, its light texture and its intense flavour. To get it right, the most important thing is to choose the right tomato, making it a red and fleshy one. The classic version is very good, but giving it a different twist with less typical ingredients can be the key to not getting bored of it when the heat is on and you don’t feel like anything else: if you can’t find ripe mangoes, you can swap them for two peaches or a couple of cups of strawberries.
