I got this light and fresh Mexican gazpacho recipe from a coworker in Mexico. Since I live in the Southwest, I make this recipe year-round at work, but it is demanded in summer! My customers and anyone else who tries it love it! You can add small shrimp to make this a main course or serve it as a light lunch or appetizer. It keeps refrigerated for one week.
