Ey! Not bad recipe! Missed adding vinegar (important), you can also add boiled egg (many people in Andalusia add egg in their recipes). And beware with garlic, 1 clove of garlic is enought. Cheers!

Thanks for the tips, will certainly add a bit of vinegar. Yeah, we don't like too much garlic either. Eggs, I've had the gazpacho with eggs, Andalucian style, so delicious!
