INDULGE’s Daily Dish: Start the week in a simple and healthy way with B Bistro + Bakery’s gazpacho

Begin the week by setting some ‘cool’ intentions in the kitchen. Gazpacho, a cold Iberian dish traditionally enjoyed during sweltering Spanish summers, works as an ideal lunch or dinner option in our own sultry Miami temperatures and requires little effort to make. Chef Henry Hane of B Bistro + Bakery in Brickell offers us a deliciously smooth version, made with basic ingredients most of us have in our refrigerators. An added bonus? Not only is gazpacho low in calories but it also has body-boosting benefits. The combination of tomatoes and red peppers is chock full of Vitamin C, giving your body extra immunity support and helping to strengthen your digestive system. Easy, tasty and beneficial to your well-being, this recipe is the definition of health #goals. There’s nothing cooler than that.
