CUCUMBER-AVOCADO GAZPACHO
I love this recipe when I'd like a cold soup but need a break from classic Spanish tomato-based gazpacho. Avocado is a nontraditional ingredient for gazpacho, but it makes a creamy and refreshing base when blended with almonds and cooling cucumber. I add lots of fresh herbs to brighten everything up. Give it a try and save those tomatoes for sauce!

Steps:
- Halve and pit 1 of the avocados and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the quartered cucumbers, the basil, half of the mint, the 1/4 cup almonds, shallot, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey and water. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve or serve immediately (see Cook's Note).
- When ready to serve, halve, pit and peel the remaining avocado and thinly slice the flesh. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with the cucumber rounds, sliced avocado, the remaining 2 tablespoons mint and remaining 2 tablespoons almonds.
CRAB, AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER TIAN WITH GAZPACHO COULIS
Steps:
- In a small bowl, gently fold the crab with the avocado, cucumber, tomato concasse, shallots, chives and lemon juice together. In a larger, separate bowl, fold the mayonnaise with the whipped cream. Using a spatula, fold the crab mixture into the mayonnaise mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place a 3-inch round cookie cutter in the center of a chilled plate. Fill the cookie cutter with the crab salad and remove the cookie cutter. There should be a cylinder of crab salad. Drizzle the Gazpacho Coulis around the crab salad, and garnish with chervil or basil.
- In a food processor, liquefy the tomato, tomato paste and cucumber. Juice the red pepper, garlic, and celery. With the food processor running, add the juice and olive oil to the tomato puree. Season with salt.
CHARLEY'S CRAB GAZPACHO
NOTE TO THOSE WONDERING WHERE THE CRAB IS: Charley's Crab is a restaurant. This is not crab gazpacho but the gazpacho served at Charley's Crab restaurants. It's the best I've ever eaten. Try it, you'll love it. This is as close to the real Charley's Crab Gazpacho recipe as I'd think you can get without having the actual recipe. It tastes IDENTICAL and is quite simple. Tastes great all year as it uses canned tomatoes. Fabulous as a first course or a main dish with some grilled shrimp thrown in. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a few croutons and a cucumber spear. NOTE: This makes a huge recipe. EDITED TO ADD: Because Alan Leonetti is leaving retaliatory feedback on many of my recipes, I'd like to state here that CHARLEY'S CRAB is a RESTAURANT. I'd guess the crab is there. There is not supposed to be any crab in this recipe. It is exactly as the restaurant serves it and it is AWESOME, one of the most frequently ordered soups they offer.

CRAB TOWERS WITH AVOCADO & GAZPACHO SALSAS RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 29
Steps:
- 1. FOR THE CRABMEAT SALAD: Whisk the olive oil, champagne vinegar, lemon zest, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Measure 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette into a medium bowl and mix with the mayonnaise. Add the crabmeat to the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Set the remaining vinaigrette aside. 2. FOR THE GAZPACHO SALSA: Toss the yellow bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, celery, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, pepper, olive oil, and sherry vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside. 3. FOR THE AVOCADO SALSA: Toss the avocado, coriander, salt, pepper, and lime juice in a medium bowl and set aside. 4. TO ASSEMBLE: Place a 3-inch-wide round biscuit cutter in the center of an individual plate. Use a slotted spoon to press 1/3 cup of the Avocado Salsa into the bottom of the cutter using the back of a soup spoon. Lift the cutter off the plate slightly to reveal some but not all of the avocado. Holding the cutter aloft, press 1/3 cup of the Crabmeat Salad evenly into the cutter on top of the avocado. Lift the cutter farther to reveal some but not all of the crab salad. Holding the cutter aloft, use a slotted spoon to press 1/3 cup of the Gazpacho Salsa evenly into the cutter on top of the crab. Gently lift the cutter up and away from the plate to reveal the crab tower. Repeat the procedure five more times with the remaining ingredients. 5. Dress the frisée with the remaining champagne vinaigrette. Place a few sprigs of the dressed frisée on top of each crab tower and arrange the orange segments, if using, around the towers. Serve immediately.
