07

Step
2 mins

Serve: Stir the chilled gazpacho, then ladle into shallow bowls. Top evenly with the cucumber-feta relish and finish with a delicate drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For a smoother texture, consider straining the gazpacho through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Adjust the amount of sherry vinegar and honey to suit your personal taste preferences.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs like basil or dill in the cucumber-feta relish.
The gazpacho can be made a day ahead of time. In fact, the flavors meld together beautifully when allowed to sit overnight.
