Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large cucumbers
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 thinly sliced, for garnish radish
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Chop the cucumbers into large chunks.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, avocado flesh, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and cold water.
Blend until smooth. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated.
With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until the soup is creamy and smooth.
Taste the soup and add sea salt and black pepper to your preference. Blend again to mix the seasonings evenly.
Transfer the soup to a bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the soup a quick stir. Pour into bowls and garnish with thinly sliced radish and extra fresh dill if desired.
Serve the soup chilled and enjoy!
