Carol Fenster, an internationally renowned and awarded gluten free expert and author, who contributes to my blog once a month, created this flavorful gluten free gazpacho recipe. I absolutely love the ideas of serving them as shooters. What a great summer party idea. I hope this recipe is the talk of your 4th of July party or other summer event. Enjoy!
