    For the gazpacho, place all of the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. If necessary, add a little more water and blend again to thin down. Chill until ready to serve.

    For the croutons, heat the olive oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the torn bread pieces and fry until golden, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
