YELLOW TOMATO AND PEACH GAZPACHO
The beauty of gazpacho is that you can marinate the ingredients in the fridge for an hour or even overnight, so all you need to do right before serving is rev up your blender. Garnishes of firm but ripe peaches, bell pepper, English cucumber, and fresh herbs add texture and interest to the bowl.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, large basil leaves, garlic, and vinegar; season with salt. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill serving bowls in refrigerator.
- Remove and discard basil. Transfer mixture to a blender (working in batches, if necessary) and process until frothy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Season to taste.
- Ladle soup into chilled bowls; mound a bit of cucumber, diced tomato, bell pepper, scallion, and peach in center of each. Top with small basil leaves. Drizzle with oil, season to taste, and serve.
Tips:
- To save time, use a mandoline to thinly slice the tomatoes and peaches.
- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the peaches in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- To make the dressing, you can use any type of vinegar you like. White wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar are all good options.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to the dressing, you can whisk in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
- This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
