When tomatoes are at their best, take a cue from Hetal Vasavada and don't cook them at all. "In the summer, Indian families often make kachumber salad. It's basically an Indian pico de gallo situation, minus the cilantro," says Vasavada. "My husband loves gazpacho—he's the kind of person who drinks salsa from the jar—so I thought this would be a nice, cool summer dish." Vasavada channeled her love for kachumber, a fresh, cucumber-based Indian salad, to inspire this exciting riff on the classic chilled summery soup. Warm spices and a hint of chile add flavor and heat without overwhelming the fresh tomatoes; sev, a crispy chickpea noodle snack, adds a pleasant crunch.
In their book Wine Food, sommelier Dana Frank and recipe developer Andrea Slonecker pair funky, bright wines with flavorful, vegetable-forward dishes.

The name for this simple soup of gently stewed onions, tomatoes, and peppers comes from the Catalan words oli (oil) and aigua (water). The soup can be served warm or chilled, and is customarily eaten with bread, which is topped here with figat (fig jam). The recipe is from chef Felipe Riccio of March restaurant in Houston. To take it to the next level, June Rodil and Mark Sayre, who lead the wine program at March, suggest serving it with a rosé, such as the 2019 Clos Canarelli Corse Figari Rosé, from Corsica, France. "The flavors of summer peppers and rosé are a perfect match, which is why this wine, with notes of soft strawberry and cherry blossom, is paired with the Oliaigua," they say. "The weight of this rosé from Corsica plays well with the dish, which needs a bit of power."
Coleslaw gets a little flavor twist from a delicious ginger-miso paste, which is used to both coat the chicken as well as dress the salad.
