  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 cup packed basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 cup water, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

  3. Ladle some gazpacho verde into chilled bowls. Scoop 1/4 cup burrata onto the soup. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil.
