Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted (about 300g)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh basil or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional, for garnish)
  • A few drops of balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Method
 

  1. Blend the base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cherries, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Pulse until smooth or leave slightly chunky, depending on preference.
  2. Season: Add olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend again until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Chill: Transfer the gazpacho to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (or up to 4 hours) to let flavours meld.
  4. Serve: Pour into bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
