There are several White Gazpacho recipes here, but this one incorporates a full head of cauliflower, which gives the gazpacho a rich flavor and texture. I've been making this one for years, and because I like garlic, I tend to add more than the recipe calls for. Read more Be advised, however; because the gazpacho itself is not cooked, the garlic flavor really cuts through. So if you're going to serve this to guests, remember that some people might find your gazpacho a bit too zesty if you go wild with the garlic. See less
