This creamy, refreshing cucumber gazpacho is perfect for a warm summer day.

Gazpacho has to be one of the best summer meals and appetizers. Gazpacho is a cold soup that is made with veggies, and for the sake of this delicious recipe, I used avocado and cucumber to make a creamy, refreshing cucumber gazpacho that tastes so good.

Why you’ll love this cucumber gazpacho:

Refreshing: Unlike traditional soup, this gazpacho is so refreshing and perfect as the weather heats up
Creamy: The avocado and coconut milk give this cucumber gazpacho the perfect creaminess (but in a healthy way)
Quick: Make this dish in only 10-minutes. That’s it!

Ingredient Notes:

Avocado: A source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6. Avocadoes are loaded with all the good things your body loves and are a healthy fat to add to your diet.

Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt: This kosher salt is one of my favs. It has a unique diamond shape that actually allows it to stick to food and dissolve quicker. The best part is that it has 53% less sodium than regular table salt. It adds such a delicious burst of saltiness to any cooking.

How to make cucumber gazpacho:

To a high-speed blender, add the chopped cucumber, avocado flesh, defrosted peas, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, coconut milk, salt, pepper, water, shallot, garlic clove and basil and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Adjust if texture is too thick with more water; another half avocado or more coconut milk for creaminess; or, more lemon juice for acidity.
Serve immediately at room temperature garnished with salt, pepper, fresh basil and defrosted frozen peas. Or, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and serve cold with the same garnishes.
