  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • 1 cup cold water add more if needed for texture
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method
 

Step 1 – Blend the Base:
  1. Add avocado, cucumber, garlic, green onion, yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a blender.
Step 2 – Adjust Texture:
  1. Blend while slowly adding cold water until smooth and creamy. Add more water if you like a thinner soup.
Step 3 – Taste and Chill:
  1. Taste the soup. Add more lime or salt if needed. Pour into a covered container and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Step 4 – Serve:
  1. Stir the chilled soup, pour into bowls or glasses, and garnish with diced cucumber, feta, olive oil drizzle, and herbs. Serve cold.

Notes

Use fully ripe avocados for the creamiest texture—they should feel slightly soft when you press them gently. For best flavor, chill the gazpacho for at least an hour before serving. If you want extra brightness, add a pinch of zest from the lime. Avoid freezing—it changes the texture.
