Chilled Cucumber and Avocado soup!


Hi all - I made this on Sunday and it was delicious!  Perfect for summer and those fresh farmer's market cucumbers.....

Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup:


2 English cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and black pepper

Puree the cucumbers, avocado, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, 1 ½ cups water, salt and pepper (to taste) until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if desired. Chill.

Serves 4; serving suggestion – toast with olive oil/balsamic vinegar and prosciutto.
