Summer is the season when tomatoes are in full bloom and boast their best flavors. Heirloom tomatoes in particular start to pop up in grocery stores and may perplex your original perception of the tomato as a one-shape, one-size-fits-all fruit. For this reason, a tomato gazpacho recipe is a summer-time classic.
To choose the best tomatoes for this summer tomato gazpacho recipe, pick those that bear no skin damage, mushy spots, or faded color. They should be robust, heavier than their size would argue, and have a sweet, pleasing scent. Heirloom tomatoes will be all sorts of colors, from green to pink to purple.
