“Spring in Your Step” Gazpacho
We tend to associate chilled soups with warmer weather and outdoor picnics, but gazpacho is delicious any time of year! This is a tribute to the spicy peppers and tart lime flavors that define traditional Mexican fare. This recipe is perfect for when you want a little “spring in your step.”
•2 big tomatoes, or 4 small tomatoes
•1 bell pepper
•1 small zucchini, or ½ regular zucchini
•2 tbsp red onion
•2 garlic cloves
•3 tbsp fresh mint
•Small handful fresh basil
•1 or 2 packets stevia
•½ a lime, juiced
•½ a lemon, juiced
•½ tsp cayenne pepper (be careful, it’s spicy!)
•Pinch of lime and lemon zest.
Blend all ingredients together in a hi-speed blender until smooth. Enjoy!
