Peach Gazpacho
This is a non-traditional Spanish gazpacho that can be customized with your choice of garnishes.
Ingredients
- 4 large peaches, peeled, pitted and cut in chunks
- 1 small Persian cucumber, peeled and cut in chunks
- 1 green onion, roots and dark green ends removed, roughly chopped
- ½ clove clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus a little more
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup filtered cold water
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Garnish (see note)
Instructions
- Place the peaches, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until puréed. Add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and water, and purée. Add additional cold water if needed to achieve a pourable soup-like consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. Place in the refrigerator to chill for an hour or until ready to serve.
- Serve in small bowls or small glasses garnished with a couple or more of the optional garnishes, if desired. You can also set out bowls of garnishes and let each person garnish to taste.
