Servings: 4 servings
Servings: 1g
Ingredients
- Cucumber- 3 cups chopped. First remove the skin and then the seeds before chopping up your cucumbers.
- Avocado- 1. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Make sure that your avocado is somewhat soft ripe is easier to work with.
- Yogurt- 1 ¼ cups. I like a fat-free plain unflavored yogurt. Greek Yogurt may be a bit too thick for this recipe.
- Green Onion- 1 chopped.
- Garlic– 1 clove minced. Lemon Juice- 1 tablespoon.
- Dill– 2 tablespoons plus additional as needed for presentation.
- Seasonings to taste. This can include Salt and/or Pepper.
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber as described above- skin and seeds removed and chopped.
- Also, prepare the avocado by removing the pit and peel.
- In a blender, blend together the cucumber, avocado and yogurt on high for 15 seconds.
- Add the onion, garlic, and dill and blend until smooth. You can season to taste as needed.
- Refrigerate the soup for at least four hours before serving. Serve with additional dill as desired. Some folks like to add a bit of mint as well.
Recipe Notes
I mentioned that the easiest way to remove the seeds is to first cut the cucumber lengthwise from tip to bottom. Open the sliced cucumber up and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
I also mentioned that this soup can be made in a blender.
With an easy soup recipe such as this one, I like using my Vitamix blender. An immersion blender may also be an idea with this recipe.
