White gazpacho recipe with almonds and cucumbers: a chilled soup for Summer alfresco dinners.

 

I am testing recipes for the Roman diner en blanc (white dinner), and this almond and cucumbers white gazpacho recipe made it into my urban picnic basket!

It is the white version of the tomato gazpacho from Spain, called Ajo Blanco (white garlic).
A candid and summery chilled gazpacho soup. That you make by basically blending all the ingredients: stale bread soken in a little water a few minutes, peeled almonds, garlic, and cucumber.
