This Discover Cooking with California Olive Oil Recipe Contest submission comes from Dominique Smith, a We Olive Paso Robles customer. Dominique says “Beat the heat with this tangy, refreshing gazpacho ! You probably have many of these ingredients in your garden or available at your farmers market. This appetizer is simple, healthy, and delicious. If you have 15 minutes, a lot of tomatoes, and a hot day then Gazpacho should be on your party menu!”
