Dress Up Your Gazpacho: Gazpacho with Marinated Feta, Olives & Basil

Morning! It's not even 9 am in Seattle, where I'm visiting my family, but on the East Coast, it's time for lunch.

This recipe for Gazpacho with Marinated Feta, Olives & Basil takes literally minutes to put together, packs a lot of flavor and is incredibly pretty.

Make this on a hot day or whenever you are craving tomatoes.

I love gazpacho! And I love the idea of having this with the marinated feta! Delicious... One of my favorite recipes for gazpacho is with a lot of roasted tomatoes... Now all we need is the weather to go along with the soup.. ;)

could I freeze this soup for fall?

Olga @ MangoTomato said...

no, that would not be a good idea.

Thank you for a gazpacho garnish that doesn't include slicing and dicing and waiting for avocados to be ripe, will definitely be picking up some olives and tomatoes on the way home!
