  • NOTE: The Andalusian Gazpacho is a cold soup that in the summer is an important part of the diet. The basic ingredients are tomatoes, pickles, peppers, garlic, water, and olive oil. In many recipes, all the ingredients are crushed and in some we find that they only crush half and the other half, cut them into small pieces to find us with chips.
  • Today there are many versions, even here in Puerto Rico we make our "puertorro" style gazpacho, adding cod and avocado and we don't use the pickle.
