That said, if you are serving gazpacho as more of a side dish, it would go nicely with just about any proteins cooked on the grill or in the oven (such as chicken, steak, pork, shrimp, fish, and so forth). Or it also pairs nicely with this Catalan Chickpeas and Spinach dish, if you would like to preserve with a Spanish tapas theme. :)
