5 minThis colorful white gazpacho is a visual stunner with three colors of bell peppers, crisp cucumbers, and bright red tomatoes all finely diced and suspended in a creamy buttermilk base.
Unlike blended gazpachos, this one keeps all those vegetables chunky so you get different textures and flavors in every spoonful.
Buttermilk and sour cream give it that signature tangy richness, while fresh lime juice adds tropical brightness that makes this feel lighter than traditional versions.
It comes together in just 5 minutes of chopping, no cooking required, making it the ultimate make-ahead soup for hot summer days or potluck contributions.
Pro Tips
- Dice vegetables into uniform small pieces for the best texture in every bite
- Use English cucumbers for crunch without bitterness or excess seeds
- Make this several hours ahead so flavors meld in the fridge
- Save some diced cucumber and tomato for fresh garnish on top
- Serve with toasted pita croutons for contrasting crunch
Variations
- Add diced avocado just before serving for creamy richness
- Stir in fresh cilantro or basil for herbal brightness
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for tangier, protein-packed version
