A quick, cool, and light starter featuring creamy avocado blended with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, and lime juice. Perfect for warm days and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit the avocado. Chop the tomatoes and cucumber into roughly 1-inch pieces. Mince the garlic finely. (Approx. 10 minutes)
  2. Place avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, minced garlic, and fresh lime juice into a blender. Add olive oil and about 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water or vegetable broth.
  3. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. Add more water if too thick and blend again. (Approx. 2 minutes)
  4. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper gradually. Taste and adjust acidity with extra lime juice if needed. Stir in chopped cilantro now or reserve for garnish. (Approx. 2 minutes)
  5. Transfer gazpacho to a covered bowl or container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (Minimum 30 minutes)
  6. Pour chilled gazpacho into small shot glasses or serving cups. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves or a drizzle of olive oil. (Approx. 5 minutes)

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best creaminess. Adjust water to control thickness. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture. Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled. If gazpacho separates after chilling, stir or blend gently before serving. Avoid over-blending to keep flavors bright.
