Summer Gazpacho


A dish of gazpacho is the flavor of summer in a bowl.  This batch is made with Arkansas Marvel Heirloom tomatoes.

To make Gazpacho blanch and peel about a pound of tomatoes.  Place them in a blender with salt, fresh herbs and olive oil.  Blend until smooth.  Refrigerate for an hour or two before serving.  dress with diced tomato, red bell pepper, avocado, crumbly goat cheese, and a sprig of cilantro.

VARIATION:

Experiment with different varieties of tomatoes.  Green zebra, another heirloom variety, makes a particularly silky gazpacho.
