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).

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Bowl & Blender 🧊
Pre-chill your blender bowl and serving bowls in the freezer for 15 minutes before blending to maintain the gazpacho's refreshing temperature and prevent the Greek yogurt from separating.
Reserve Fresh Herbs for Garnish 🌿
Blend only half of your fresh herbs into the soup, then reserve the remainder to tear and scatter as garnish right before serving to preserve their vibrant color and delicate flavor.
Use English Cucumbers for Creaminess 🥒
English cucumbers have fewer seeds and higher water content than regular cucumbers, creating a naturally smoother texture that requires less Greek yogurt and prevents a gritty consistency.
Balance Acidity with Honey Gradually 🍯
Add honey in small increments (½ teaspoon at a time) after the lemon juice to achieve the perfect sweet-tart balance, as too much honey too quickly can overpower the delicate herb flavors.
Make it 24 Hours Ahead for Best Flavor 🕐
Prepare the gazpacho a full day in advance—the herbs and garlic will fully infuse into the yogurt base, creating deeper, more complex flavors than if served immediately.
