Ultimate refreshing Asian gazpacho with cucumber salsa
I’ve made gazpacho many, many times as it’s the perfect dish to cool you off after a balmy day in late summer. Especially here in Spain, where I live. My favourite is a green gazpacho, which we’ve also had on the menu in our restaurant.

Recently, I wanted to change this staple dish – try something new and have a little fun with it. The result was amazing, the kids loved it at first spoonful! So, without further ado here’s my take on a green gazpacho with an Asian twist. You can serve it as a starter or as a light and refreshing main dish. Enjoy!
