Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho
- Put the oil, vinegar, and Tabasco in a blender. Mix for a few seconds. Add everything except tomatoes and blend until smooth.
- Add tomato chunks, a few at a time. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If you want it even smoother, you can pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
- Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Whisk gazpacho and taste. Add more salt and/or sherry vinegar as desired. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
