Avocado Cucumber Gazpacho
Serves: 4
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 avocados
  • 3 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeños or green chilis (adjust as per preference), chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • ½ cup loosely packed mint leaves
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ¾ - 1 cup iced water (or more)
  • Salt, to taste
  • To serve: additional olive oil or Greek yogurt, finely chopped cucumber, micro greens
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add the avocados, cucumber, jalapeños/green chilis, garlic, mint, Greek yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, working in batches if required, adding iced water until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Season with salt, and taste to adjust — add more vinegar for zing, chilli for heat, or cold water to thin out.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  4. To serve, divide gazpacho among bowls. Garnish with desired toppings — I like a swirl of olive oil and greek yogurt with some finely chopped cucumbers, topped with fresh micro greens.
