Hidden Gazpacho

Pan Seared Halibut with White Gazpacho and Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, Red Grape Salsa.

I didn’t know there was such a thing as white gazpacho just like I didn’t know that there is a In-N-Out Burger in a hidden sub-basement of Whole Foods (hint: in the elevator, push the “6” button three times). The base consists of poached, peeled and pureed almonds. Tricky.

I don’t know if this is a salad, a salsa or a gazpacho (or just a bowl full of fruit waiting for a dressing). But once mixed with a Sherry Vinaigrette, it is a fresh, bright topping for the dish.
