Ingredients
  • 1 large french baguette, cubed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 3 medium-sized red bell peppers, chopped roughly
  • 3 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped roughly
  • 12 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, chopped roughly
  • 1 large clove garlic (optional)
  • 2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place the bread in a large bowl. Coat with the olive oil and season with the salt. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, spread the bread cubes on the cookie sheet, and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  3. Place all of the ingredients in a blender (depending on the size of the jar, you may have to do it in several batches). Blend until smooth. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer to get rid of tomato and pepper skin and cucumber seeds. Chill for a couple of hours before serving. Serve the croutons on top of the gazpacho.
