Ingredients
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
- 1 cup of cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1 cup of vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 cup of water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped finely
- 2 Tbsp cucumber, peeled and chopped finely
Directions
-
Set your Blend and Cook to 5 minutes on Medium heat. Pour in your olive oil and add the shallots. Hit the Stir button once or twice to move things around. Once your 5 minutes are up and the heat is off, add the rest of your ingredients. Blend on setting 2 or 3 until everything looks creamy and delicious. Maybe a minute? Taste to check the seasoning. Put the whole glass jar in the fridge to chill for half an hour and then serve. I poured mine into small glasses and garnished with a pinch of cucumber and cilantro.
