I have been really enjoying the Strawberry Peach Pico de Gallo that I posted last...yummy. Today was pretty warm, I wanted to make a delicious cleansing meal for dinner, and have been eyeing a similar recipe in one of my raw books...Living Raw Food by Sarma Melngailis...I love her books! I have a dream to go to pure food and wine in New York some day!
Anyway...I wanted to make something beautiful. To tell you the truth, I have only made one Raw soup that I really enjoyed,which was the gazpacho that I posted a few weeks ago, and tend to shy away from them for that reason. I thought this soup was also exceptionally delicious and will make it again for sure!
The cucumber in this soup is so cooling on a warm summer day, also it is a natural diuretic, so it will help the cleansing process along. The cilantro in this soup will help you to purge any heavy metals in your body...feel free to add more if you like...I love cilantro!The avocados are a wonderful source of fat for women that have a harder time to digest nuts, even when sprouted. Feel free to make this in the winter as well, and use oranges that are in season when you make the salsa.
3 cups of cucumber with peel on and seeds included
3 medium avocados pitted and peeled
2 1/2 c filtered water
1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh garlic
juice of 1 1/2 limes
1/2 t coriander
1/2 t cumin
1 large handful cilantro leaves
1 T sea salt
Blend everything until completely smooth, and add additional water and salt as needed.
