Summer’s Refreshing Twist: Avocado Gazpacho Recipe
Get ready to beat the heat with a creamy, chilled soup that’s about to become your new summer obsession! Our avocado gazpacho recipe is a game-changer – gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with flavor. This quick and easy summer cooler is like sipping on a refreshing glass of “liquid guacamole.”
A Deliciously Simple Recipe
To ensure the flavors shine, I’ve kept this recipe intentionally simple. Don’t be fooled, though – it’s deceptively rich, with a subtle flavor that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds. Take a few sips before adding more pizzazz, and be sure to allow for some chilling time to let the flavors infuse.
Chilling Time is Key
Unlike traditional gazpacho, which is often served at room temperature, I prefer to chill this soup to prevent the avocados from getting too warm. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
Serve It Your Way
This recipe serves 4-6 people as a main meal, garnished with extra avocado, tomato, cilantro, and green onions. However, if you’re looking for a smaller serving, you can stretch it to 8 people and serve it in small ramekins or glasses as an appetizer. The base is flavorful enough to stand alone, making it perfect for a tiny taster in shot glasses. Add a dash of Tabasco and a sprig of cilantro for an extra kick!
Allergy-Friendly Delight
This recipe is a wonderful option for those with dietary restrictions – gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, and soy-free. And the best part? It’s not taste-free!
