If you are a gazpacho purist, please, don’t continue to read because this one is not its original recipe 🙂 If, instead, you’d like an easy and tasty recipe ready in half an hour for a no fuss meal, well, you are in the right place! To prepare it I used the amber tomatoes because I love them! They are sweet, juicy and… look at their beautiful colour! Amazing!
