Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large, peeled and diced Cucumber
- 2 ripe, peeled and pitted Avocado
- 1 cup, plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Dill
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Mint
- 1 cup Cold Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoons, or to taste Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons, freshly ground Black Pepper
- 4 optional, for serving Ice Cubes
Instructions
Peel and dice the cucumbers into small chunks for easier blending.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, and fresh mint to the blender.
Pour in the cold water and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
While blending, add the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the soup.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, blending briefly to incorporate.
If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit more cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
When ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra dill or mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and ice cubes if desired.
