Cashew Free Avocado, Lime & Cucumber Gazpacho Shooters
Cool, creamy, and almost electric green, these chilled shooters are the kind of appetizer that stops a party in its tracks. Ripe avocado and fresh English cucumber form the silky base, blended smooth with bright lime juice, cilantro, and a gentle kick of fresh ginger. A touch of turmeric gives the whole thing a subtle earthiness and deepens that gorgeous color, while apple cider vinegar keeps the flavors lively and sharp. Garlic-infused olive oil rounds everything out without any of the guesswork that comes with store-bought dressings or sauces that might sneak in unwanted ingredients. The mixture gets strained until it's perfectly smooth and glassy, then chilled until cold all the way through — that resting time is what lets the flavors really come together. Poured into little shot glasses and topped with a thin cucumber round, they look like something from a restaurant tasting menu but come together entirely in a blender. Whether you're serving a crowd or just treating yourself to something fresh and vibrant, these shooters deliver serious flavor with zero fuss.
