Horseradish, spices and slightly sweet balsamic vinegar give this gazpacho its Cajun flair. Served chilled, it’s one of the best starters you can have in the heat of the summer.—Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

After visiting New Orleans, I fell in love wit gazpacho and tried to duplicate it in my kitchen - this is closest and best thing to the restaurant's signature dish. Excellent. It is addictive, and so good in the heat of summer.
