I love this recipe because you can have it for lunch or dinner and it travels easily. Avocado is one of the best salad ingredients as a soup because it really holds up. It’s a great make-ahead lunch, even for entertaining.
Ingredients
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks (about 2 cups)
  • 1 large avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut into chunks
  • 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, plus sprigs for serving
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1⁄4 cup water
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons grass-fed full-fat yogurt (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the yogurt and blend until smooth.
  2. Add more water if you want to make the soup thinner. Adjust the seasoning. This soup is great to serve immediately but even better if you chill for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours. Garnish with dill sprigs and, if desired, top each serving with a tablespoon of yogurt.
