Summer Sweet Corn Gazpacho

Trust the creator when they say to use only yellow tomatoes and bell peppers. I only got red ones, and it was... visually unpleasant to say the least. It looks like what you find behind the carnival tent at 1 am on a Saturday night. That aside, it tastes a lot better! I oven roasted the tomatoes before adding them, because my corn wasn't really sweet at all. I still recommend doing something about the texture if you have sensory issues, but overall a solid recipe!

I used 1 can of sweet corn and 1 can of creamed corn, 1 yellow squash (seeds removed), ~ 1 cup flavor bomb cherry tomatoes (didn’t affect color), and substituted white wine vinegar for sherry vinegar. I also added Kinder’s lemon garlic butter and Old Bay seasoning. I served with fried shrimp to have a more substantial meal.

I was short on corn and put half a large, peeled honeycrisp apple in. Gave it a little more sweetness which balanced the tart of vinegar & lemon. Garnish with basil & red cherry tomatoes made for a nice bite! Looking forward to doubling this to see how it freezes.

Unfortunately, I didn't much like this as a gazpacho 😅. The shallot very heavily overpowers the corn for me, and it was too much to eat by itself. In an effort to avoid wasting food, however, I added a half cup of mozzarella and tossed it in some pasta. I can honestly say I'd make this recipe again - just to use as a sauce lol (or I'd cut the shallot all together - I think this would be a really sweet and light dish without it)
