These Gazpacho Shots with Microgreens are a refreshing cold soup served in shot glasses for a fun, elegant touch. Made with ripe tomatoes, this no-cook appetizer is perfect for brunch spreads, grazing boards, or warm-weather lunches. Garnished with fresh microgreens and flaky salt, it's a light and flavorful way to showcase summer vegetables.
In a blender, combine tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.
Add a bit of cold water if needed to achieve a smooth, pourable texture. Transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
Pour into shot glasses or mini cups. Top each shot with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Garnish with a mini cucumber slice, a cherry tomato half, and micro greens. Serve chilled.
Notes
Use ripe tomatoes — they’re the base of the flavor, so the better the tomato, the better the gazpacho.
Want a little heat? Add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce before blending.
These gazpacho shots make a great addition to summer dishes like grilled vegetables, sandwiches, or a charcuterie spread.
If you’re hosting a brunch or picnic, serve these in chilled glasses with a side of crusty bread.
