Originating in Spain, gazpacho is a chilled soup that combines raw veggies with fresh herbs and spices. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon, this version is infused with a hint of sweetness thanks to the juicy apples and crisp cucumbers that help form the base. Yellow heirloom tomatoes lend it a beautiful golden hue, but any color of ripe summer tomato will taste great. Add a few splashes of Tabasco sauce to turn up the heat and then enjoy this bowl of liquid gold!
