Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and diced into small cubes

2 ripe avocados, pitted and chopped into chunks

1 small red onion, finely minced

2 cloves garlic, minced to a paste

1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped finely

1 large ripe tomato, chopped into bite-sized pieces

3 cups vegetable broth, chilled

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or basil leaves, for garnish

Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (for an added spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, chopped avocados, finely minced red onion, garlic paste, finely chopped green bell pepper, and chopped tomato. If you’re in the mood for some heat, toss in the minced jalapeño for a spicy variation.

    Blend: Carefully transfer the vegetable mixture into a blender or a food processor. Pour in the chilled vegetable broth, followed by the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

      Pulse: Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more vegetable broth, blending until you reach the desired texture.

        Chill: Once blended, give the gazpacho a taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Serve: When ready to serve, pour the chilled gazpacho into bowls or stylish glasses. Garnish each serving with fresh cilantro or basil leaves for a pop of color. Drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil on top for added richness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and revel in this refreshing, nutritious dish that’s perfect for warm days!
