Today Show: Tomato Gazpacho with Crab, Avocado and Basil Recipe

Today Show: Gazpacho Soup with Crab

Today Food shared the latest in a series of no-cook recipes, with help from chef Shea Gallante. The New York chef made his Tomato Gazpacho with Crab, Avocado, and Basil.

“We’re staying cold today,” he said of the gazpacho, which is traditionally served cool, unlike most soups. Look for ripe plum, beefsteak, or heirloom tomatoes. Gallante said he prefers to skin his avocados. I have an easier time dicing it in the skin and then squeezing the flesh out. How do you peel your avocados?
