 Ingredients:

• 6 ripe tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
• Optional garnishes: diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, croutons, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables by washing them thoroughly. Core the tomatoes and roughly chop them. Peel and chop the cucumber. Remove the seeds and stem from the bell peppers, and chop them. Peel and chop the red onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

2. Place all the chopped vegetables and minced garlic in a blender or food processor. If your blender is not large enough to accommodate all the ingredients, you can work in batches.

3. Blend the vegetables until you achieve a smooth puree. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for a shorter time or leave some small pieces of vegetables intact.

4. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

5. Taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar according to your preference.

6. Transfer the gazpacho to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until it's well chilled. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the taste.

7. Before serving, give the gazpacho a good stir. Pour it into individual bowls or glasses. You can garnish each serving with diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, croutons, or fresh herbs if desired.

8. Gazpacho is best served cold. Enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer or light summer meal.
