# Instrucciones:

01 - In a blender, combine tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and vinegar. Blend until smooth.
02 - With the blender running, slowly add olive oil until fully incorporated and creamy.
03 - Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add cold water a little at a time to reach a pourable but thick consistency. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
04 - Pour into small shot glasses. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil and garnish with diced vegetables or herbs if desired. Serve well chilled.

# Notas:

01 - Use very ripe summer tomatoes for the best flavor.
02 - Gazpacho can be made a day ahead — it improves overnight.
03 - Excellent paired with dry fino sherry or sparkling water with lemon.
