Celebrating Pride Month with Rainbow Recipes: Gazpacho

To celebrate Pride Month this year, myGwork member and food creative Fernando Sanchez has created summer recipes (in both English and Spanish) for each color of the Pride rainbow.

To kickstart our Pride Rainbow Recipe series, we’re celebrating the color red with a recipe for Gazpacho from Spain.

Step 1: Combine tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber, shallots and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. Blend at high speed until very smooth.

Step 2: With the motor running, add the vinegar and salt. Slowly add the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright red to orange and become smooth and emulsified.
