Cucumber Creamy Gazpacho
Recipe Author: Beautiful on Raw
Cucumber gazpacho is a delightful twist on the classic gazpacho, a cold soup that originated in Andalusia, Spain. It incorporates cucumbers, onions, garlic, coconut cream, cashews, olive oil, vinegar, and water. These ingredients are blended and pureed until a smooth texture is achieved. The resulting dish is a refreshing and cooling treat, particularly enjoyable during hot summer days. Compared to traditional gazpacho, cucumber gazpacho offers a lighter and milder flavor profile, making it a great choice for those seeking a lighter option.
