To create a flavorful and refreshing cucumber avocado gazpacho, the first step is to prepare your vegetables properly. Start with fresh, firm cucumbers. For the best texture, peel them, then slice them in half lengthwise to remove the seeds with a spoon. This will help reduce excess water in your gazpacho, ensuring it isn't too watery. Next, chop the cucumbers into rough chunks.
