Start a summer dinner with a gazpacho shot. You can:

  • Serve gazpacho in a shot glass or four-ounce juice glass.
  • Add a splash of tequila to the soup.
  • You can switch the proportions and flavor tequila shots with a bit of gazpacho.
  • Go beyond the soup and serve a full-blown cocktail shot, called a gazpachito. (Here’a the recipe).
  •  
    Even a small amount of soup can add another portion of veggies to your daily intake.

    How many fruit and vegetable servings do you need each day?

    The government’s prior “five a day” recommendation has been modified based on age, gender and physical activity. Calculate your personal requirements.

  • Try avocado gazpacho.
  • Here’s a lovely melon gazpacho.

    PRODUCT: A Ken For Mother In Law’s Kimchi

    Kimchi (pronounced kim-chee and also spelled kim chee or kimchee) are pickled vegetables that are pungent and fiery, seasoned with red chile flakes or whole chiles.

    Considered the national dish of Korea by many, kimchi is eaten as a side dish as well as incorporated into recipes. It’s a terrific fusion food, pairing well with everything from eggs to sandwiches to meat to tacos.

    If you like pungent, spicy foods, take a taste. You can find them in the refrigerated case at Asian grocers, as well as online. As spicy as they are, kimchi is also a probiotic food, aiding with digestion.
