HMoC!! My new favorite thing in the world is Avocado Gazpacho! It’s like eating guacamole with a spoon! This recipe is 100% raw and 200% delicious.

To start this trip to delicious city, you will need to cut up 1 zucchini and 2 small yellow squash in about 3/4 inch circles. Slice 1 ring of onion about the same thickness (and then into fourths) and 1/2 a red bell pepper into chunks.  Put these ingredients into the bowl of your food processor and pulse so its choppy but not too small or in a paste.  These veggies will be filler in your gazpacho.  Transfer this mixture to a medium size bowl.

Cut the corn off of 2 cobs and add to the vegetable mixture in the bowl.

Put 1 avocado in the bowl of the food processor along with 1 medium size tomato (already pre-chopped) and pulse this so its chunky (but watch out! the avocado will turn to guac if pulsed too much). Add this mixture to the veggie bowl and add the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of sea salt.

Next, put 2 avocados in the food processor along with 1/2 of a small jalapeno (seeded), 1 clove of garlic and the juice of 1 lemon.  Turn the food processor to ‘On’ (instead of pulse) and let these ingredients turn into a paste (or sauce).  Pour this  sauce into the gazpacho bowl along with some some water and whisk together.  The amount of water is up to you…I added it twice making sure that each time I did it wasn’t too much.  I left it kinda of thick but you can add more water if you’d like it more soupy.

Once plated, I topped my gazpacho with some raw sunflower seeds and red pepper flakes. This recipe will serve 3-4 depending on how much you like it. I had 2 helpings and so did Loren and we had some left over.  Its kept in the fridge since last night so I may snack on it today (hehe). Loren ate his as gazpacho and with chips (like guac).  It tastes like fancy guacamole; every bite you take you can taste the corn, the spice of the jalapeno, the zucchini and squash.

Delicious!

*update: im eating the leftover gazpacho now for lunch and its even better after it sits overnight! i know most gazpachos you let sit but I was weary because this one had so much avocado in it and it oxidizes quickly.
