Cold cucumber gazpacho in glass cups with edible flowers

Cucumber Gazpacho

When summer temperatures rise, I find myself craving meals that are fresh, bright, and require as little time in the kitchen as possible. This cucumber gazpacho is exactly that, a cool, refreshing soup made with crisp cucumbers, fresh herbs, and a bright touch of citrus. It’s light enough for a hot afternoon but full of flavor, making it one of my favorite ways to make the most of summer produce.
