Gazpacho

This is a great hot summer day meal.  A fresh, cold soup is just what you need when the sun is beating down.  All of the veggies can easily be chopped in a food processor if you want to bring the soup together faster.  This is a great make ahead meal and will stay fresh in the fridge for a few days.
