Gazpacho is a cold, tomato-based, vegetable soup originally from Spain. It is a refreshing and great summertime dish. I had bought the onion, cucumber, and tomato from the Crystal City Farmers Market. I love being able to get so many fresh vegetables every week at this farmers market. You can make this ahead of time since it tastes even better after its been chilled. Serve this gazpacho with some crusty bread and you have a simple, delicious meal.
