golden tomato and lemon cucumber gazpacho with avocado salsa

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals—I love not only the texture and flavor contrasts but also the ease of preparation. On a beautiful warm evening, I’m often in the mood for something that can be quickly prepared. With a blender and some really fresh ingredients, this dish can be made in five minutes. Gazpacho is best served chilled, with an equally cool glass of white wine.

2 cups peeled, deseeded, and diced lemon cucumbers

2 cups deseeded and diced tomatillos

2 1/4 cups diced golden tomatoes

2 tablespoons lime juice

1/2 jalapeño pepper

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil
