Cold Cucumber, Avocado, and Mint Soup

Cold soups based on cucumber have very ancient roots in various Mediterranean and Arab cultures.

In Al-Andalus, as early as the 12th century, there are references to refreshing preparations with vegetables and herbs served cold during the intense Andalusian summers.

The combination of cucumber and mint was common in the Arab world not only for its flavor but also for its medicinal and digestive properties.

The addition of avocado and the use of blenders is a modern reinterpretation that has gained prominence in recent decades as part of the 'raw' and functional cuisine movement, combining ancestral tradition with a contemporary healthy lifestyle.
