Beet Gazpacho

This gazpacho stands out for its vibrant purple color and a sweeter, earthier flavor profile than the traditional version. The beetroot not only gives it an incredibly silky texture, but it is also an excellent source of flavonoids. To balance the natural sweetness of the root and enhance the freshness of the tomato without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt .

Ingredients

• 500g ripe tomatoes (pear type)

• 250g cooked beetroot (plain, not in vinegar)

• ½ green pepper

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the vegetables: Wash the tomatoes, pepper, and cucumber. Chop the tomatoes and cooked beetroot. Peel the cucumber and onion.

2. Base blending: Put all the vegetables (tomato, beetroot, pepper, cucumber, onion, and garlic) into the jug of a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.

3. Technical emulsion: Add the vinegar, pepper, and a generous amount of Bonsalt 0% Sodium Castello. While continuing to blend at medium speed, slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil so the mixture emulsifies and gains body.

4. Silky straining: For a professional texture, pass the gazpacho through a chinois or fine sieve. This will remove any traces of tomato skin or beetroot fibers, leaving a smooth, liquid cream.

5. Seasoning point: Taste the result. The potassium in Bonsalt is the perfect ally here, as it helps contrast the sweetness of the beetroot, giving it a very clean salty finish that makes you want to keep drinking it.

6. Intense chill: Keep in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Serve very cold, optionally garnished with a few cubes of fresh cheese or some sesame seeds.
