Gazpacho
This is a bright and refreshing no-cook soup. You can omit the avocado, if you prefer. Feel free to add minced jalapeño for a variation. Cilantro in place of the basil makes another excellent version. I like to serve this with some quickly seared scallops or shrimp for a full meal. Or add diced hardboiled egg to make a full vegetarian meal.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes about 4-5 tomatoes

Instructions
- Dice about 1/4 cup of each the tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper before peeling the cucumber. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for garnish later. Add the remaining vegetables, onion, garlic, avocado oil, balsamic, and salt to a high power blender and process until completely smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days.
