This tropical riff adds freshly chopped pineapple and mango along with pineapple juice to the tomatoes, cucumber, red and green bell peppers, red onion, cilantro and lime of the classical chilled soup. Gazpacho, often referred to as "liquid salad," is a perfect way to beat the heat on the islands or anywhere.
