Refreshing Mango Gazpacho

This Easy and Refreshing Mango Gazpacho is perfect for hot summer days.  Sweet, Savory with a touch of spice makes this recipe a keeper!

Easy Refreshing Mango Gazpacho

Unlike many others, I have fond memories of my High School Spanish Class.  Senora Oberstar was a phenomenal teacher, one of my favorite teachers ever, in fact.  She so effectively taught us Spanish, rarely using even a word of English.  And once we got some of the basics down, she taught us about Spanish foods, the strangest of which was this cold soup with the name Gazpacho (which is a totally fun word to say, don’t you think?).

Made with tomatoes, cucumber and a variety of peppers, it is served in Spain as a first course. All of us Midwestern teenagers, I have to say, were a bit mortified at the idea of a cold soup. Then one day she brought some in. Wow! It was so flavorful, a treat for the tastebuds! I couldn’t wait to try it at home for my family. But something must’ve been lost in the translation, because my Gazpacho was nowhere near as fine as Senora Oberstar’s.

So when I saw this recipe for Refreshing Mango Gazpacho, of all things, I was immediately all in!  I mean, who doesn’t love Mangoes? Their sweetness and the smooth texture of the fruit – ooh, my mouth is watering just thinking of it.  One of my all-time favorite fruits.  And making Gazpacho with Mango is so easy!

This lovely soup takes just minutes to make and it is perfect for these hot days we are having. You just need to peel, seed and chop all your fruits and vegetables, and  puree in a blender or food processor.  Refrigerate. Serve. And love it! It is a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. You can serve it as a first course or the main course for a light meal. If you serve it with corn chips, the way I do, apologize to your family and friends for mixing foods from different Spanish-speaking cultures.  But it was muy bueno. I hope you can forgive me.

Now I can’t say I remember all of my 4 years of High School Spanish plus a year of College Spanish (which I took with Senor Oberstar, the husband of my High School Spanish Teacher!), because that was so much verb conjugation.  Who knew there were THAT many verb tenses? But I do remember how amazing the Gazpacho was. And making it with mangoes? Delicioso!  Enjoy!

Adapted ever-so-slightly fromThe Hispanic Kitchen, this super-easy and quick Mango Gazpacho is sweet and refreshing, finishing with a spicy note from the jalapeno.  Serve in a small glass or bowl as an appetizer, or it makes a brilliant light summer lunch or dinner.

I used a food processor to make this gazpacho. You could use a blender or even an immersion blender if you like.

I used a larger jalapeño, and a bit more onion than the original recipe, and since I only had a single orange, I used OJ from a carton.  I also used those sweet mini-peppers you can purchase by the bag at most grocery stores.  I use these often as a substitute for large bell peppers.

    My memory of high school Spanish class is that my Spanish teacher was brand new and spoke PERFECT Spanish, but not very good English hahaha. It made learning a little difficult. But this gazpacho! Yum!! The sweet heat sounds perfect for these summer months!

      Thanks, Kelly! Tough to learn Spanish when the teacher doesn’t necessarily translate very well, ha! But, I agree with you that this is the absolute perfect dish for these hot days! Hope you get the chance to make it!

      Heather – I love spicy, but too spicy tends to cover the flavors! but I would say be sure to seed the jalapeno, and maybe use a smaller one, just to be safe, if you are sensitive to spice. Thanks for your visit!

    Refreshing is right! I just learned how to cut a mango properly, haha. I know what I’ll be using them in the next time I find them on sale at the grocery store 😉

      Thanks, Katherine! It’s getting so hot here, I’m tempted to make this again! But you are right, nothing like when they are on sale! Now that I’ve discovered this recipe, I may have to stock up and freeze them!

    Haha! I have the same feelings about my high school Latin class and teacher. I loved those classes! And I even took some in college…but all of those verbs!! I hear ya there, Laura! I love that gazpacho calls back wonderful memories, and I’ve gotta say that this mango version sounds quite tasty. I’m pretty sure it’s 110% humidity here today, so a nice cold soup sounds like a great treat to me!

      You’re right, David! Humidity screams for cold soup! This one would be the perfect antidote for 110% humidity! I’m so glad we’re kindred spirits when it comes to foreign language classes. I think a good teacher makes all the difference in the world! Thanks for your visit!

    Spanish was my favorite subject in school! Despite the fact that I got kicked out of class most days in 9th grade for being “disruptive” :). I’m pretty in love with the color of this gazpacho and I know I could eat a huge bowl right now!

      Thanks, Kelsie! I loved Spanish, too, and was confused as to why most of my classmates didn’t like it. Glad we are kindred spirits in this respect! I think your disruptive spirit is fantastic, though, I was never that person, but secretly wondered what it was like. Thanks for visiting!
