Gazpacho with a tropical twist


I am honored that Lazaro has asked me to be the guest blogger for Lazaro Cooks! today. Since Lazaro and Nancy share the hosting, I thought it might be fun to make a soup that would suit both of their tastes. I chose gazpacho, but decided to garnished it with a tropical twist – mango. After all, Lazaro does live in south Florida.

    Sam: What a delicious way to honor the tastes of both Nancy and Lazaro! I love cold soups. I can't wait to gather the ingredients for this one. It will be perfect for our now sultry (thought I'd left that back in Charleston) summer lunches. Thanks!

    Best,
    Bonnie

    My in-laws will soon be spoiling me with their amazing fruity tomatoes. Guess who's cold soup is going to get made?
    Sam...I want that gorgeous glass bowl;o) Very nice way to present such a flavourful soup.
    I'm sure that Lazaro and Nancy are very pleased of how you took their tastes and personalities into consideration. Very appetizing indeed;o)
    Ciao for now,

    I am so looking forward to making gazpacho this summer, and you've really peaked my interest with this beautiful photo and recipe, Sam. The ingredient that really jumps out for me is the dill. I can't wait to give it a try.

    This gazpacho recipe is being shared just in time, it's hot outside and this looks like a refreshing blend. I've made gazpacho previously and have not found a recipe I like, perhaps this will be the one.
