1

Blend the Ingredients

In a blender, combine 4 ripe tomatoes, 1 cucumber (peeled and seeded), 1 red bell pepper (seeded and chopped), 1 small red onion (chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Blend everything until smooth and well combined.

2

Adjust the Seasoning

Taste the gazpacho mixture and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You can add more salt, vinegar, or spices if desired. Remember that the flavors will be slightly less intense once the mixture is frozen, so don't be afraid to be bold with your seasonings!

3

Fill the Popsicle Molds

Pour the gazpacho mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion as the popsicles freeze. If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks into them. Cover the molds with their lids or insert the popsicle sticks into the center of the mixture, making sure they stand upright.

4

Freeze and Enjoy

Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running warm water over the bottoms for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles. Now, grab a popsicle and enjoy the icy, tomato-y goodness!
