Who Said Frozen Salad isn’t any Good? Sorbete de Gazpacho

2008-05-10T09:39:46Z

Did I scare you? I mean, the idea of frozen salad probably isn’t that appealing. LOL But. And this is a pretty big BUT. (no, it’s not mine! ) Gazpacho. Sorbet. Combine the two and you have a bit of frozen heaven. This traditional Spanish soup is...

2008-05-10T09:37:00Z
