Ingredients
- 4 tomates pera maduros
- 1/2 cebolleta

- 1 cda vinagre de jerez
- 1 cucharadita sal marina
- 1 cda semillas

- Empieza escaldando los tomates para poder pelarlos con facilidad. Para ello, hazles un corte en forma de cruz en uno de sus extremos e introdúcelos en agua hirviendo durante 1 minuto aproximadamente. Sácalos y ponlos en un bol con agua fría. Pélalos, la piel se desprenderá fácilmente.
- En tu robot de cocina añade los tomates y el resto de ingredientes, excepto el aceite y el vinagre.
- No añadas toda el agua de golpe, es mejor poner una parte, triturar y ver como queda, si está muy denso añade más.
- Una vez triturado todo, añade el aceite, el vinagre y la sal. Prueba y ajusta las cantidades a tu gusto.
- Sirve el gazpacho en boles individuales y decora con las semillas que hayas elegido, yo le puse semillas de chía, añde unos rabanitos laminados y un poco de pepino, dale un toque verde con el perejil. ¡Disfrútalo!

Hola. Soy Loli de Sevilla.
Quería saber si un gazpacho de remolacha es bueno por la noche?
Gracias.

Hola Loli,
claro que sí, no hay restricciones a la hora de la cena siempre y cuando se trate de alimentos saludables, la remolacha lo es. Cuando hablamos de la última comida del día, lo más importante es el horario, hay que cenar pronto, y dejar pasar un par de horas antes de acostarse, esa sería la regla de oro a tener en cuenta.
Saludos y gracias por tu comentario.
