This cold Gazpacho is super easy to make and requires zero cooking! Gazpacho originated in Spain and is often used as a starter for meals, especially during tomato season.

Traditional gazpacho recipes call for pureed tomatoes, cucumber, onion and garlic, but because Heinen’s is the best place to get locally grown produce in the summer, this version also includes yellow squash, which lightens the color of the finished dish and makes the flavor extra fresh.

The best thing about this chilled soup is that you can really spice it up with hot peppers if that’s your preference. You can even make a big batch and freeze the extra to enjoy all summer and fall. It’s that good!

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
