CUCUMBER-AVOCADO GAZPACHO
I love this recipe when I'd like a cold soup but need a break from classic Spanish tomato-based gazpacho. Avocado is a nontraditional ingredient for gazpacho, but it makes a creamy and refreshing base when blended with almonds and cooling cucumber. I add lots of fresh herbs to brighten everything up. Give it a try and save those tomatoes for sauce!

Steps:
- Halve and pit 1 of the avocados and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the quartered cucumbers, the basil, half of the mint, the 1/4 cup almonds, shallot, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey and water. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve or serve immediately (see Cook's Note).
- When ready to serve, halve, pit and peel the remaining avocado and thinly slice the flesh. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with the cucumber rounds, sliced avocado, the remaining 2 tablespoons mint and remaining 2 tablespoons almonds.
TOMATO-WATERMELON GAZPACHO WITH AVOCADO
After several days of sitting out on the counter feeding the fruit flies, even the firmest tomatoes start to slacken. That's when you know it's gazpacho time.This time I added watermelon, because I had it and because I wanted a slightly sweeter soup than usual. For color and voluptuous texture, I floated buttery avocado cubes on top. It was pretty enough to serve to company, and expandable enough to use up all the soft tomatoes on the oozing brink.

Add 1/4 cup or more water to thin the mixture, if necessary.

Refrigerate until cold, then pour into a bowl and top with the reserved chopped tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and a drizzle of olive oil, and eat.

BEST GAZPACHO
More of a drink than a soup, served in frosted glasses or chilled tumblers, gazpacho is perfect when it is too hot to eat but you need cold, salt and lunch all at the same time. Gazpacho is everywhere in Seville, Spain, where this recipe comes from, but it's not the watered-down salsa or grainy vegetable purée often served in the United States. This version has no bread and is a creamy orange-pink rather than a lipstick red. That is because a large quantity of olive oil is required for making delicious gazpacho, rather than take-it-or-leave it gazpacho. The emulsion of red tomato juice, palest green cucumber juice and golden olive oil produces the right color and a smooth, almost fluffy texture.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. (If necessary, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth, at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
- With the motor running, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.
- Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold, at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses, over ice if desired, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.
