Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber (seedless)
- 2 medium Green bell peppers
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crusty bread or croutons (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Sliced radish (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the cucumbers, green bell peppers, and avocado. No need to peel the cucumbers if they are seedless. Set aside.
Wash and remove the stems from the fresh spinach, cilantro, and parsley.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop the jalapeño, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder gazpacho.
In a large blender or food processor, combine the chopped cucumbers, green bell peppers, avocado, spinach, cilantro, parsley, garlic, and jalapeño.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, cold water, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Depending on your blender, you may need to do this in batches.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if desired.
Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, stir well and pour the gazpacho into bowls or glasses.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, croutons or crusty bread pieces, and sliced radishes if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing summer soup!
