Post-Fair Garden Gazpacho

Hello, tender friends!

It was another successful year at the fair this past weekend! If you want to see a post that I wrote two years ago about the fair, here it is.

Of course, it was hot as blazes at the fair. So to cool off, we enjoyed some garden gazpacho when we got home.

One of my favorite things about gazpacho is that it contains raw onion and raw garlic. We cook with a ton of onion and garlic, but it’s also important to incorporate some raw form of this into your diet. Raw onion and garlic contain allicin, but it’s destroyed by heat. God’s (sometimes raw) pharmacy is the best.

Because gazpacho was so cheap when I lived in Spain, I never really bothered making it. I had to look up a recipe, and I don’t want to claim originality for this because it’s not fair to the person who posted it. So here’s the link to the recipe I used: https://www.food.com/recipe/real-spanish-gazpacho-from-spain-242054

Of course, most of the ingredients came from our garden.

The cucumbers came from this patch in the garden.

I used a mix of tomatoes from here.

I didn’t use strictly Roma tomatoes (although that’s recommended) because I only had a few ripe romas. I therefore mixed in a mortgage lifter tomato and some sungolds.

Of ourse, the green pepper and the basil also came from the garden.

Since it’s only the middle of July, I anticipate eating this much more before the end of the summer! I hope you can join me and incorporate some allicin into your own diet!

Okay, that’s all for today, tender friends! Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for sharing!
