Gazpacho Pasta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Rinse with cold water; drain.
• In large bowl, mix pasta and all remaining salad ingredients.
• In small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended. Pour over salad; toss to mix.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Put the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper and red onion in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook as per package instructions. Drain and tip into a serving dish. Pour the sauce over and toss to combine.
• For the topping: Mix together the green and black olives, bell pepper, parsley, basil and cucumber in a medium bowl and sprinkle over the pasta. Drizzle with more olive oil and garnish with basil leaves.

Steps:

• Toss the tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, tomato juice, olive oil and sherry vinegar in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the salad with the chives, shallot and flaky sea salt.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. (If necessary, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth, at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
• With the motor running, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.
• Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses, over ice if desired, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.
