Food Recipes Soups Vegetable Soups Tangy Green Zebra Gazpacho 5.0 (1,934) 2 Reviews Green Zebras are heirloom tomatoes with a striped pattern; they are sweet like red tomatoes but give this gazpacho a lovely jade hue. To make the chilled soup extra tangy, use tomatillos or unripe red tomatoes instead of Green Zebras.

Suggested Pairing At Katie Lee's party, the guests drank a vibrant, lemony Sauvignon Blanc from New York with this refreshing soup. A good choice would be a Sauvignon Blanc from a cool climate, like New Zealand's Marlborough region. Originally appeared: September 2009 Rate It Print
