Chilled tomatoes with cucumber, spring onions and bell pepper topped with refreshing mint and parsley; Tomato Gazpacho.
Accentuate each moment by imbibing a moment of pure sunshine. And, radiate.
What’s your favourite soup combo?
This dish will rupture the belief that vegan food can’t be super healthy.
Make this:
- When you are languishing and you want to reminisce about your Spanish trip
- When it’s boiling outside and you need a cool refreshing liquid that will give you that second wind before you hit the town
- When you’ve got an al fresco summer dinner party – your guest will thank you for something cold and delectable.
Tomato Gazpach was motivated when I was in Madrid with an ex. Oh My Words, the Spanish have their cold starters down to a tee; a second wind was forthcoming and I was on the way to party once again.
Tomato Gazpacho is vegan, raw and paleo.
What to do next
Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.
My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.
Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.
Going strong since 2013.
Love.
