Instructions

Peel an English cucumber and cut into chunks. Trim 2 green onions and rough chop. Juice the lemon.

Add the cucumber, onions and lemon juice to a high-speed blender with the rest of the ingredients – 16 ounces Greek yogurt, ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, ¼ cup fresh dill, 2 tablespoons fresh mint, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Adding 1 teaspoon honey is optional, but highly recommended.

Secure the lid and blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green.

Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled.

Serve cold in 2-ounce glasses as an amuse bouche (serves 14) or into small bowls for 4 appetizer servings. Garnish with a few drops of olive oil and a dill frond (optional).
