#MeatlessMonday - Green Gazpacho #summer #nocookrecipe #vegetarian #vegan

It's hot. Too hot to be in the kitchen. Here's a great no-cook recipe that you can make in the morning, and chill in the refrigerator for the day. By evening...voila! Dinner is served.

Enjoy!

Green Gazpacho

Ingredients:
5 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 medium-large cucumber, chopped

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped 

1 yellow pepper, chopped
6 green (or yellow) tomatoes
2 avocados
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a food processor: add garlic, lemon juice, cucumber, spinach and yellow pepper
Run until finely chopped and "soupy"
Add diced tomatoes and avocados, blend for about a minute. Salt and pepper to taste.

Chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish as desired (I like sour cream). Serve with crusty bread.
