Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

For the gazpacho

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 2 medium cucumbers chopped
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 5-6 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper (optional)
  • 2 cups plant milk of choice (we like almond and soy)
  • Juice of 1 lime or lemon
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Big handful of mint
  • Big handful of parsley
  • 2 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
  • 3 tablespoon coconut yogurt (or sub with greek yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil

For the croutons (optional)

  • 3 slices of bread, preferably day-old bread (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and halved

For serving (optional)

  • Hemp seeds
  • Yogurt of choice
  • Sliced Radishes

Instructions

Croutons

  • Preheat oven to 180C (356F). Lay baking paper on a baking sheet. Add shallot and garlic cloves and toss in olive oil and salt. Next place slices of bread. Roast for 10-20 minutes. It really depends on how old your bread is, so don't forget to give it a look now and then. Fresh bread takes longer to bake.
  • When the bread is nice and golden and the shallot and garlic caramelized, take them out of the oven. Carefully, while the bread is still warm, rub a whole, peeled garlic clove on each slice until it melts.
  • Cut the garlic bread into cubes. Set aside.

Gazpacho

  • In a blender or a food processor, add all of the ingredients for the gazpacho and blend until smooth. Then taste and adjust the flavor if needed- more almond milk for thinness, jalapeño for spice, vinegar and lime juice for a more tangy flavor, mint for freshness.
  • Transfer into a jar a covered container and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes before serving.
  • When chilled, serve the gazpacho with garlicky croutons and toppings of choice. We love to serve it with hemp seeds, radishes, yogurt, and more mint!
