Easy Pineapple And Avocado Gazpacho Food

AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well-if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
• Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
• Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
• Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
• Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
• Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
• Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
• Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
• Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
• Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.

AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Mix tomato-vegetable juice, vegetable broth, tomatoes, avocados, cucumber, canned tomatoes with juice, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, olive oil, green onions, lemon juice, cilantro, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

EASY PINEAPPLE AND AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• In a blender jar, liquify all the soup ingredients. If you don't like very spicy food, start with only half the specified jalapeno, then add more to taste.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour.
• Serve, garnished with celery sticks and chopped fresh herbs of your choice.

PINEAPPLE AND AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, make the dressing by mixing 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice with the lime juice, honey, oil and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the pineapple and onion. Gently fold in the avocado and cilantro. Let the flavors blend for at least 15 minutes before serving.

TOMATILLO, TOMATO AND AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until olive green and softened. Drain and transfer to a blender.
• Meanwhile put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces.
• Add the onions and remaining ingredients plus a cup of cold water and blend until smooth. You will probably have to do this in two batches. Strain through a medium strainer, taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for two hours or longer. Garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro and a few drops of lime juice.

HEALTHY AVOCADO PINEAPPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º. In a large bowl, beat avocado until only small lumps remain. Add eggs, honey and oil; beat until blended. Stir in pineapple. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to avocado mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in 1/2 cup pecans., Fill 12 greased or foil-lined muffin muffin cups; sprinkle tops with remaining 1/4 cup pecans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

AVOCADO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Combine the avocado, tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, vinegar, paprika and salt in a blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour into a bowl or pitcher, thin out as desired with ice water, cover and chill for several hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes, if using. Place them in small bowls on a platter. Serve it in bowls, and pass the tray of garnishes.
