If you saw me this last week on WBTV you would know that tomatoes are in full swing and this simple and yummy Fiesta Gazpacho Recipe is perfect for all your local farmer’s market finds.

In fact, they are said to be more beneficial to your health than apples! But after reading an article on the Huffington Post, I found they also can do more for your skin when sliced open. Check out their article to find out more about these 7 benefits and please enjoy the recipe below!
