    Gluten Free Living – 2025

    Zesty Gazpacho Salad is one of those wonderful recipes that I found in one of my old cookbooks this past year. I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. It’s quick and easy to whip up, light and refreshing to eat, along with being healthy, low calorie, gluten free and vegan! A win-win for sure.

    I made a bereavement meal for some friends back in early May. The woman who died had been part of our weekly Grandmas in Prayer group and had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. One day she was in the ER with pain and three weeks later she was gone.

    They asked for a meal train so I signed up on one of the earlier dates. I made my favorite stand-by recipe: Pork Chop Supper. A one-dish meal with red potatoes and baby carrots. The seasonings in that dish make it really special. I added our favorite Home-Baked Bread, Zesty Gazpacho Salad and Texas Chocolate Cupcakes (with Caramel Frosting!) The family loved the meal and I was glad I could do such a small thing to help lighten their load during such a difficult time.

    As stated above, Zesty Gazpacho Salad is really easy to put together. The salad includes zucchini, tomatoes, fresh corn, avocados and green onions. The homemade salad dressing uses only six ingredients including Picante sauce and fresh, minced parsley. Seriously, this is an easy-peasy recipe and it tastes amazing. The combination of flavors in the salad dressing are perfect for the vegetables in the salad.

    If you’re looking for a light, refreshing and easy summertime salad, I can’t recommend Zesty Gazpacho Salad enough. 🙂

    If using fresh corn: shuck corn and boil 5 minutes; cool, cut down corn-on-the-cob with a knife to use in recipe. Place corn, chopped tomatoes and chopped zucchini in a mixing bowl.

    Taste of Home no longer has a search engine that allows you to search recipes by title. Most of the time, you have to weed through thousands of recipes in collections. If any link is to be found, I find direct links through google, not their own website. I could not locate a direct page for this recipe. But it is in the cookbook noted above.
