Everyday Paleo Gazpacho with Avocado Cream

I received a bunch of heirloom tomatoes in my CSA box this week and while gazing at them on the counter along with a few fresh cucumbers, beautiful purple bell peppers, and big red onions, I became inspired to make a gazpacho!  YUM was the end result and so refreshing on a hot day.  We topped the gazpacho with some paleo avocado cream for a deliciously rich addition to the bowl of goodness.  Here it is!

    Got to try this one – the avocado cream sounds like a perfect match!

    The typical portuguese ‘gaspacho’ recipe skips the cumin and balsamic vinegar – but mixes in olive oil, white wine (or apple sider) vinegar and dried oregano.

    Also, try blending some peeled almonds in the gazpacho, makes it super smooth and creamy!

      I actually use a food processor. It’s a black & decker.

    Sarah, you just got a shout out by Dooce! http://dooce.com/2011/08/11/more-about-fad-diet-humans-ate-millions-years Whoooo, wooo!

    Also, the gazpacho looks amazing, as does most of your food. I have been digging on the “not potato” cauliflower salad and loving it. My favorite part is that, like you, I was able to take your recipe and meld it with my mom’s recipe and make it awesome. Thank you for everything!

    Sarah, is the full fat canned coconut milk in this recipe the same kind you recommend making your smoothies with from your cookbook? Please advise. Thanks.

      I often use the So Delicious brand coconut milk for my smoothies but I also like the canned kind as well. For this recipe however, I would recommend using the canned coconut milk.

    Hi Sarah,

    My husband and I are just starting with the Paleo lifestyle. Any tips on keeping fresh herbs on hand? They can get expensive! I can grow things like basil and rosemary, but flat parsley and cilantro can be hard to grow here in the south.

    This was awesome! And a great way to use up the tomatoes & cucumbers that are threatening to overtake our yard!

    I’m starting to make the switch to eating this way. Thanks for all the information. I’m not a big fan of cilantro though. Is there another herb you could recommend? Thanks

    Thank you so much for this! I’ve been craving this for a while, but now have a completely dairy and gluten free recipe for it 🙂 (lactose intolerant and celiac, double trouble haha) I follow your website and have never been disappointed by a recipe yet 🙂 Thank you for being so awesome!

    I thought the gazpacho was tasty…but the raw garlic and onions were kinda strong and everyone could smell it (ie maybe don’t take it to work for leftovers!) I used the avocado cream on EVERYTHING, though, from hamburger patties with salsa to scrambled eggs. Yummy!!

    I’m definitely wanting to try the avocado cream, but have a question about the coconut milk. When using the canned milk, and the recipe doesn’t specify using just the cream off the top, do you mix the liquid and cream together and then add to recipes?
