Tips:
- To make the perfect gazpacho, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. The best time to make gazpacho is in the summer when tomatoes are at their peak.
- If you don't have time to make your own vegetable broth, you can use store-bought broth. Just be sure to choose a low-sodium broth so that the gazpacho doesn't become too salty.
- To make the avocado mash, use ripe avocados that are soft to the touch. Mash the avocados with a fork or a potato masher until they are smooth and creamy.
- To add a smoky flavor to the gazpacho, use smoked seafood such as smoked salmon, trout, or mackerel. You can also use smoked paprika or liquid smoke to achieve a smoky flavor.
- Serve the gazpacho chilled. You can garnish it with a dollop of avocado mash, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Gazpacho with mashed avocado and smoked seafood is a refreshing and flavorful soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this gazpacho recipe a try.
