This cold Gazpacho is super easy to make and requires zero cooking! Gazpacho originated in Spain and is often used as a starter for meals, especially during tomato season.
Traditional gazpacho recipes call for pureed tomatoes, cucumber, onion and garlic, but because Heinen’s is the best place to get locally grown produce in the summer, this version also includes yellow squash, which lightens the color of the finished dish and makes the flavor extra fresh.

The best thing about this chilled soup is that you can really spice it up with hot peppers if that’s your preference. You can even make a big batch and freeze the extra to enjoy all summer and fall. It’s that good!
