from
Wikipedia
In the historical description of gazpacho it was remarked that the original recipe uses bread, water, vinegar, oil and salt.
Every Andalusian region or comarca has its own variety of this popular food so there are many types of gazpacho.
Gazpacho, since its humble origin, was a very deeply-rooted food for peasants and shepherds in the south of Spain.
This origin gave rise to a wide variety of dishes called gazpacho and to some others that don't have this name but belong to the same category.
The classification by colour implies that there is a difference between the red ones ( which contain tomato ), the white ones ( which contain no tomato, but include dried fruits ) and the green ones ( which are white but cointain some spices that make them green ).
The only thing all these variations have in common is the original gazpacho, in other words, the basic paste made of garlic, which works as an emulsifier bread, the olive oil, the vinegar and salt.
Keeping the traditional ingredients some kind of red-coloured fruits such as fragarias, muskmelon, etc., are also frequently added.
