7. Steps to prepare Tropical Gazpacho

8. Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

Start by peeling and dicing the mango and cucumber into medium cubes. The quality of these ingredients will be crucial for the final flavor. The serrano chili should be clean and finely chopped to add a spicy touch without overpowering the dish. Also, squeeze the orange and lemon juice, making sure to strain both to remove seeds or excessive pulp.

In a large pitcher or blender, combine the mango, cucumber, chili, orange juice, lemon juice, and the pinch of salt. Blend until you get a homogeneous, smooth, and lump-free mixture. If you prefer a more liquid texture, you can add a little more orange or lemon juice. You will see that the result is a vibrant and flavorful fruity broth.

10. Step 3: Chill and serve

Once blended, pass the gazpacho through a fine sieve to remove any fiber or seed remnants that could alter the silky texture. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so it is well chilled. Serve in individual glasses or bowls, decorating with fresh mint leaves or additional mango pieces for a more attractive presentation.
