White Gazpacho With Mint And Apple
serves 2-4
Recipe from cookthink
This cooling cucumber soup is flavored with nutty almonds, a tart apple and aromatic mint. It's a perfect light lunch on a hot summer day. The raw garlic will definitely be noticed, so if you'd rather not have a strong garlic flavor, use only one clove.

These unusual flavors surprised me - delicious - cool but filling. Fast, too.
