About the dish

Gazpacho de mango or mango gazpacho is a variety of Spanish gazpacho , a refreshing soup that’s traditionally enjoyed cold. As the name suggests, this version is based on mangoes, which are combined with other ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, jalapeño peppers or chili, onions, shallots, and garlic. All the ingredients are peeled and diced before they’re blended with cold water and olive oil into a mixture with a smooth consistency and a silky texture. Orange juice, lime juice, or vinegar are usually added to the combination to add the necessary acidity, and the soup is typically flavored with spices and herbs such as cilantro, basil, or tarragon. With a subtle sweet and savory flavor, mango gazpacho is traditionally enjoyed well-chilled alongside salads, grilled meat or seafood, skewered vegetables, and crusty bread. This simple soup makes for a great summer appetizer due to its refreshing nature, although it is also commonly eaten as a light meal for lunch or dinner.
