FODMAP: Gazpacho

This is a delicious soup for anyone, FODMAP or not. I have found that watermelon is a great replacement for tomatoes, but this is only if you are not on the diet. Also what is great about Gazpacho is it is perfectly raw, therefore retaining all of the nutrients of the vegetables. I like to sprinkle mine with seeds for added texture and protein.
