• VEGETARIAN SIDE DISH AND STARTER RECIPES:

• Macho Gazpacho Vegetable Chunk Salad

  Gazpacho is so appetizing when it's served in a chilled glass rather than a bowl. Just place the glasses in the freezer while blending the ingredients, and they'll be chilly-foggy-perfect when it's time to serve. –RR
