Green gazpacho with mint and cilantro

Vegetable soup Spanish cuisine

Gazpacho is a perennial summertime favorite - so light and refreshing, a cool liquid salad to whet the appetite while waiting for the main course off the grille. This recipe is a variation of classic tomato-based gazpacho - based on an excellent version found in the iconic Silver Palate Cookbook (Julee Russo/SheilaLukins). Given just about any combination of veggies, herbs and olive oil -- you can't go wrong.
