Instructions
Blend Ingredients: Combine the diced cucumbers, grapes, almonds, garlic, avocado, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and cold water in a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker gazpacho, add a bit more avocado or reduce the water slightly. For a thinner texture, add more cold water gradually while blending.
Chill the Soup: Transfer the blended gazpacho into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve and Garnish: Divide the chilled gazpacho into four bowls. Garnish with diced cucumber, halved grapes, and microgreens for a fresh presentation.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before serving, as separation is normal.
Peeling the cucumbers makes the gazpacho lighter in color, but you can leave the peel on for a more pronounced cucumber flavor.
For added protein, consider topping with toasted nuts or seeds before serving.
