BLENDER GAZPACHO WITH CELERY, CARROT, CUCUMBER AND RED PEPPER



Blender Gazpacho With Celery, Carrot, Cucumber and Red Pepper image

In a classic gazpacho all of these vegetables except the tomatoes are cut into fine dice and served as accompaniments to the puréed tomato base. In this version, I blend everything together into what is essentially a tangy, pungent vegetable smoothie. You can serve this in glasses or in bowls. I like the tarragon garnish.
