This recipe is for 1liter Gazpacho

Difficulty: Easy
Time of preparation: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Bread
Olive oil
Vinegar
Salt
Garlic
3 or 4 Tomatos or a 1/2 Kilo Tomato tin

Preparation:

1. Put the bread in the water and let it there until it become wet and soft. Then, put it in the mixer.

4. Then add directly into the mixer, a big splash of olive oil, a bit of salt, bit of vinegar, the garlic, the green pepper and the cucumber (both already cut) and a bit of water (just a glass, later we will add more)

5. Turn on the mixer until it looks liquid.

6. Once it is done, add one or two more glasses of water and stir.

Now you have the perfect cold drink for the summer!
