A fresh Vegan Basil Cucumber Gazpacho is a delicious 5-minute no-cook recipe to enjoy this cucumber season. It’s very easy to throw together, but you’ll need to buy the freshest cucumbers and herbs as well as perfectly ripe avocado. To keep the recipe vegan-friendly, I use unsweetened coconut yogurt. For a non-vegan option, use plain Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and tangy flavor. This recipe makes two servings.
This three-step recipe starts by combining all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Then, blend at high speed until completely smooth and creamy, adding more water to thin to the consistency you desire. Finally, refrigerate the cucumber gazpacho until thoroughly chilled. Serve with a swirl of yogurt garnished with thin cucumber slices, fresh basil leaves, and a few drops of olive oil. Healthy and delicious. Enjoy!
