Pineapple Gazpacho

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"Tired of tomato-based gazpacho? Try this golden refresher, full of pineapple, yellow bell pepper, red onion and cucumber. This gazpacho is different in color and in tasted. It can be made as picante as you wish. You can add a pinch of minced jalapeno or serrano chile along with the garnish. For something new this summer, give this recipe a try! Recipe is from our local foodie, Jan D'Atri."
