This vibrant Gazpacho salsa reimagines the classic chilled Spanish soup as a chunky, versatile condiment. Bursting with the sun-drenched flavours of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and tangy Kalamata olives, it offers a sophisticated balance of sweetness and acidity. The addition of smoked paprika adds a subtle, earthy depth that pairs beautifully with the sharp notes of Sherry vinegar and fresh garlic.
