Inspired by a recipe from Gourmet magazine

 

Zucchini and avocado together--who would have imagined that these two

ingredients could be partners in such a culinary triumph?! The creamy, nutty

avocado plays off perfectly against the bright earthiness of the zucchini, and

the

buttermilk ties it all together with a perfect, comforting zing.

SIMPLE SOLUTION:

INGREDIENTS

1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1 California avocado

1 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup ice cubes

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons minced chives, or other herbs for garnish

1. Steam the zucchini until very tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Halve, peel and chop the avocado and add to a _blender_

(http://www.care2.com/greenliving/chilled-zucchini-and-avocado-soup.html#) with

zucchini,

buttermilk, ice, lemon juice and cumin.

3. Puree the _soup_

(http://www.care2.com/greenliving/chilled-zucchini-and-avocado-soup.html#) ,

adding more ice cubes until the desired thickness is

achieved.

4. Pour into bowls and garnish with chives or herbs.

Serves 2 to 4
