Steps:
- Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. On a plate or small baking sheet, toss the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeño with drizzles of Olive Oil from Spain and a few pinches of sea salt.
- Wrap the garlic cloves in a piece of foil and place all the vegetables directly on the grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the tomatillos are soft, charred, and just starting to burst, and the onion and jalapeño are charred and soft. Remove from the grill and unwrap the garlic. Let cool, then chill completely. (This step can be done in advance.)
- In a blender, combine the chilled tomatillos, onion, garlic, ¼ of the jalapeño pepper, ¼ cup of Olive Oil from Spain, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, ½ teaspoon salt, honey, and the yogurt. Blend until smooth. Season with more salt, if desired (I add ½ teaspoon). Taste and add the remaining jalapeño, if desired, for more spice. Chill the soup until ready to serve.
- Yogurt drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lime juice, water, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Serve the soup with the yogurt drizzle and any desired garnishes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cilantro, parsley and basil and cook until bright green, about 45 seconds. Remove the herbs and place into a bowl of ice water until cold. Drain.
- In a blender, combine the herb mixture, jalapeno and 2 cups ice water and puree until smooth. With the motor running, add the oil. Using a sieve over a medium bowl, strain the herb puree and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss together the scallion, tomatillos, avocado, apple and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, season the cucumber with salt and pepper. Using your hands, squeeze out the excess liquid from the cucumber. Place 1/4 of the cucumber in the center of each of four soup bowls and surround the cucumber with the tomatillo mixture. Pour 1/4 of the herb puree into each bowl. Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful cucumbers and tomatillos for the best taste. If you can, try to find organic or locally grown produce.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cucumbers and tomatillos by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend smoothly.
- To make the gazpacho even more refreshing, chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. You can also add a few ice cubes to each bowl.
- Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings, such as diced avocado, chopped cilantro, or crumbled cotija cheese.
- Gazpacho is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. If you have any extra cucumbers, tomatillos, or other veggies, just throw them in the blender and make a batch of gazpacho.
