Healthy, because
This gazpacho has tons of vitamin A from the paprika, which supports beautiful and healthy skin, while the lycopene from the tomatoes can regulate blood pressure and has a positive influence on the heart and circulatory systems.
Even smarter
Gazpacho becomes even more delicious if it is prepared the day before and allowed to rest overnight in the refrigerator.
