COOKING WITH CAITLIN'S Gazpacho

I think that gazpacho is quite the refreshing soup option--especially in the summer. It goes well with a simple sandwich as well as something a little fancier and off the grill. Not only that, but it is actually pretty healthy for you as well--gazpacho is made up of all kinds of different veggies.
