Recipe: How to Make Green Gazpacho

Food for the Incredible Hulk

As the world warms, and there appears little end to such madness, we all need to explore foods that will help us keep our cool. Perhaps you have already tried and are tired of the traditional Gazpacho recipes with tomatoes, and even it's more substantial bread-based cousin Salmorejo?

Well, if that is the case, you just may be interested in another cousin: Green Gazpacho or Gazpacho Verde. As I have a Black Belt in Gazpacho Tasting -  I thought I'd share this simple recipe with you: 

Green Gazpacho Ingredients

• Avocado (optional)
• Garlic (optional)
• Lemon Juice
• Oil

Gazpacho Verde: Food for the Incredible Hulk - Cool, full of good stuff and very, very green.

Green Gazpacho: Instructions

Now, pay attention to the next step as it's rather complicated: Stick all the above in a big pan and whizz it around with a blender.

And - "Roberto es tu tio". There you have it. Stick it in the fridge for a bit, and enjoy an alternative to the red variety. Now, if you should make too much of it, or not enjoy the alternative flavour - I have a suggestion for you. Freeze it as small ice-lolly sticks and take them round to your neighbours. Tell them its a lime flavoured lolly and sit back, get out the mobile and send up the video of their faces to your YouTube channel. I'm sure it will go viral.
