Green gazpacho

From Food & Medicine Encyclopedia

Green gazpacho is a low carbohydrate / keto friendly food item.

Overview[edit]

Green Gazpacho is a chilled, blended soup traditionally from Spain. This keto-adapted version replaces high-carb ingredients with green veggies, making it both refreshing and low in carbohydrates. This dish is perfect for hot weather, providing hydration and nutrition without being heavy.

Ingredients[edit]

  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 jalapeño, deseeded and chopped (optional for heat)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups spinach or kale leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cold water, as needed for consistency

Preparation[edit]

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients, starting with the cucumbers and green pepper.
  2. Blend on high until smooth. Add cold water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  4. Chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  5. Serve cold, garnished with diced vegetables, a drizzle of olive oil, or fresh herbs.

Serving Suggestions[edit]

  • Pour into chilled bowls or glasses.
  • Accompany with keto-friendly bread or croutons for added texture.
  • Drizzle with a flavored oil, like basil oil or chili oil, for added depth.
