This super quick and easy, no-cook recipe for fresh homemade gazpacho tastes like summer sunshine in a bowl!
Huge thanks to Danielle Omar and her delicious looking Watermelon Gazpacho recipe that I pinned the other day for the inspiration for this latest Instameals recipe…
I was all set to make her homemade gazpacho when I realized my basil and cilantro were sadly shriveled and the shallots I thought I had were nowhere to be found.
Not to be discouraged, I scrounged through my fridge and came up with this last minute soup, perfect for a light lunch right before I headed to the beach with my kids.
Want to make your own quick and easy fresh gazpacho? Here’s how…
How to Make Homemade Gazpacho in 5 Minutes or Less…
- Raid your fridge, veggie garden, or summer CSA box for any fresh or gently wilted veggies and fruit.
- Chop up {peel if necessary} said veggies and fruit {no need to dice, just chop ’em in to medium size chunks}.
- Toss ’em all in to a high speed blender or food processor, and gently pulse until, voila, you have gazpacho!
- Pour it in to a bowl, glass, or jar, and slurp away.
- Head to the beach {or park or other fun summer spot} and thank me because now you can enjoy the rest of your day with a big smile on your face because you just consumed {almost} an entires day worth of veggies and fruit!!!
- P.S. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
If you’re visiting Del Mar a visit to Dog Beach is always fun! Dog are allowed on the beach {North area} year round, and they can be off leash right after Labor Day through June 14.

[…] the Fridge” gazpacho I had for lunch the other day, was SO easy to make. It’s a rift on this gazpacho recipe, but you can make it with whatever ingredients you have on hand. I made mine with my favorite dry […]
I love chilled soup this time of the year! Thanks for linking up 🙂 xo
Thanks for the shout out, EA! I love gazpacho and it’s so easy to make! It’s definitely a summer staple in our house. Thanks the easy step by step instructions, too!
I’ve been enjoying chilled soups recently too, especially ones like this that are whizzed up so quickly in the blender!
The perfect summer dish!
Oh my, my mouth is watering reading this EA. I love gazpacho so much at this time of year, especially with really good olive oil drizzled into the blender. I love that you shot this on your copy of Eating Well. I just got my tomato issue last week, and have started to drool over it.
Thanks so much Katie~I have a feeling I will be eating a LOT of gazpacho this summer 🙂 That copy of Eating Well with the tomatoes on top got me drooling as well!!!
