Almond and Grape Gazpacho

Almond and Grape Gazpacho is a refreshing Spanish dish served chill. Great for cleansing the appetite and makes a great nourishing pick me up.  I love this Gazpacho for its simplicity and elegance. It has this piquant taste, a melding of sweet and sour.

Blanched almonds, I purchase from a nifty Asian outlet in Hayes.  It has an online presence too which can be found here – I love it because it is reasonably priced and tends to be good quality stuff which I use.
