Gazpachos in all colours

Herbs: Also optional, but they add a whole new dimension to a gazpacho, which may be a little sad. Basil, mint and fresh coriander go well with both vegetables and fruits. Tarragon, fresh thyme, oregano, chives and even parsley can very well find their place in a gazpacho.
A little acidity: If the fruit or vegetables are not already very acidic, you can awaken the flavors of gazpacho with a dash of lime or lemon juice or a few drops of a good vinegar.
A liquid: not always necessary if the fruit and vegetables are very juicy or if you want a very thick consistency. Usually, a little water is added until the desired consistency is reached, but you can also substitute a fresh vegetable or fruit juice.
Salt and oil: two other optional ingredients, but they improve the flavor of the fruit and vegetables. You can use a little white miso or tamari to add salt. You can replace the oil with a touch of almond butter to make the gazpacho smoother.
Garnish: For fun, add (or not) small cubes of fruit and vegetables, chopped herbs, a few pine nuts, raw bread croutons, sprouts, sesame seeds, etc.

How do you make a raw gazpacho?
All you have to do is chop up the ingredients… A blender, a food processor with an S-knife, a mini chopper or a blender arm are just the thing. If you want to go by hand, you can make gazpacho in the traditional way, with a mortar and pestle or with a sharp knife, a cutting board and a little patience.
You can liquefy the ingredients to get a homogeneous consistency or let them run for less time to get more texture. To increase the texture, you can cut some of the ingredients into small cubes and add them at the end.

Above all, you have to take the time to taste to adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you let the gazpacho rest in the fridge, even if it’s only for 15 minutes, the aromas will mix and develop.
I recommend starting with tested recipes to familiarize yourself with the flavor and texture of gazpachos so that you can then invent and improvise.
