Summer in a Bowl: Mango Avocado Gazpacho Recipe

Today’s Inspiration: A Taste of Summer in a Bowl

As the warm rays of the sun kissed my skin and the gentle breeze rustled through the trees outside my window, I couldn’t help but crave a dish that captured the essence of summer. Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest culinary creation – a refreshing Mango Avocado Gazpacho that is bursting with vibrant flavors and textures. This chilled soup is the perfect way to beat the heat and indulge in the abundance of summer produce.

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe mango (peeled and diced)
• 1 ripe avocado (peeled and diced)
• 1/2 cucumber (peeled and diced)
• 1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
• 1/4 red onion (finely diced)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Juice of 2 limes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• citrus juicer

To start, combine the diced mango, avocado, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze the lime juice over the top, and sprinkle with cumin, salt, and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the gazpacho is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Once the gazpacho is smooth, transfer it to a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, divide the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with additional chopped cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil.

This Mango Avocado Gazpacho weighs approximately 1200 grams when fully prepared and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 300 grams, and it is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. This soup is approximately 200 calories per serving, making it a healthy and delicious option for lunch or a light dinner.

One clever tip for this gazpacho is to add a sprinkle of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick. The heat will complement the sweetness of the mango and the creaminess of the avocado, creating a flavor combination that is truly addictive.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Mango Avocado Gazpacho as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs, spices, or additional ingredients to make it your own. Bon appétit!
