Print Recipe

A refreshing, creamy, and herbaceous no-cook gazpacho made with cucumber, avocado, dill, and crème fraîche. Perfect for hot summer days, ready in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: peel and roughly chop the cucumbers; peel, pit, and scoop out the avocado flesh; chop the fresh dill finely; mince the garlic clove.
  2. Blend the base: add cucumbers, avocado, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and olive oil to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse to combine, then blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add cold water or vegetable broth gradually to reach desired consistency.
  3. Season: add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Blend briefly again to mix seasonings. Taste and adjust lemon juice or salt if needed.
  4. Chill (optional): refrigerate the soup for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and mellow.
  5. Serve: ladle the gazpacho into bowls, add a dollop of crème fraîche on top, garnish with a sprig of dill, and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

Notes

Use Persian cucumbers if possible to reduce wateriness. Pulse ingredients before blending fully to avoid overheating avocado and browning. Adjust consistency slowly with cold water or broth. Chill for best flavor. Substitute crème fraîche with Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free versions. Add lemon juice to slow avocado browning. Avoid freezing due to texture changes.
