Fresh, seasonal onions are sweet and tasty when chopped up and souped up, like in this gorgeous gazpacho.

Servings: Serves 4–6
Ingredients
  • 6 cucumbers , peeled and seeded
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 small red onion , minced
  • 1 small yellow onion , minced
  • 1 bunch scallions , chopped fine
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 small cloves garlic , peeled; 1 minced, 1 whole
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 8 slices country bread
Directions
Cut 4 cucumbers into large chunks. Puree in a food processor with vinegar, 3/4 cup water and sugar until smooth. Remove and place in a large bowl. Chop the remaining two cucumbers into 1/4-inch cubes and combine with puree. Add red and yellow onions, scallions, parsley, three tablespoons olive oil and minced garlic.
