Cucumber Gazpacho Recipe
Like any other gazpacho, cucumber gazpacho is also very easy to make.

We’ll incorporate only one tomato to add some flavor, but we can completely omit it to give even more prominence to the cucumber.
The rest of the preparation is straightforward. We’ll wash the vegetables thoroughly, peel them if necessary, and place them in the blender jar.
We’ll season with oil, vinegar, and salt, add a little water to achieve the desired texture, and blend well. Finally, we just need to strain it to make it smoother in texture.
