Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and diced

2 ripe avocados, pitted and roughly chopped

1 small red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 large ripe tomato, chopped

3 cups chilled vegetable broth

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon high-quality extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or basil leaves for garnish

Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (for added heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and diced cucumbers, chopped avocados, finely diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped tomato. If you prefer a spicy touch, incorporate the minced jalapeño at this stage.

    Blend the Mixture: Carefully transfer the prepared vegetable mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the chilled vegetable broth, freshly squeezed lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

      Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency. If the gazpacho is too thick for your liking, gradually add more chilled vegetable broth until the desired texture is reached.

        Chill to Infuse Flavors: Taste the gazpacho and adjust seasoning as needed. For the best flavor, cover the container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld beautifully.

          Serve: Pour the cold gazpacho into stylish bowls or glasses. For a vibrant garnish, sprinkle fresh cilantro or basil leaves on top. A light drizzle of olive oil enhances the dish's appeal and flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor this refreshing, nutritious gazpacho—perfect for those hot summer days when you need a light, revitalizing meal!
