    Cucumber and pineapple gazpacho - a cold, delicious soup!

    This cool cucumber & pineapple gazpacho is easy to make and tastes so fresh!  I had a hard time finding the right word to describe this soup but I think 'fresh' is perfect.  It's refreshing, all-natural, easy, without a ton of ingredients and it's just got to be super healthy!!  This is one of those recipes that is perfect to make this time of year.

    What is gazpacho?

    Gazpacho is a cold soup. This is a traditional Spanish (as in Spain) soup served in the summer. It is made with fresh vegetables. Obviously, the fresh uncooked vegetables make this a very healthy dish. I remember looking up the history of gazpacho one time and in older cookbooks in Spain, gazpacho was classified as a salad!

    A great recipe to use up your cucumbers!

    Use up a cucumber from the garden!  And, pineapples must be in season too, since they seem to be on sale everywhere.  Cucumbers and pineapple seem like an odd mix but, let me tell you, they really have an amazing combined taste!!  What I also love about this gazpacho is, no tomatoes!  I do love tomatoes but am suffering a little tomato overload right now : ).

    Ingredients

    Simple, all-natural ingredients that you have at home!

    gazpacho ingredients including cucumber, pineapple, lime, jalapeno and scallions

      • ½ pineapple (plus a tablespoon or two of the pineapple juice)
      • 1 small cucumber
      • Juice of ½ lime (a tablespoon-ish)
      • ½ jalapeno
      • Scallions
    • Salt and pepper

    Directions

    1. In a food processor (if you like coarse chopped), or a blender (if you don’t want to dig out your food processor and/or like a finer texture) add the following:
    2. Chunked pineapple pieces (plus some pineapple juice – 1 tablespoon-ish)pineapple in blender for gaspacho soup
    3. 1 small cucumber (I took out most seeds but you don’t need to)
    4. Juice of ½ limeading lime juice to chopped up pineapple and cucumber in the blender
    5. The chopped green part of 1 scallion (save some for garnish)Salt and tomato have been added on top of other ingredients in blender
    6. ½ chopped jalapeño
    7. Salt and pepper to taste (go easy – you can always add more!)

    Pulse until you get the texture you like. I personally like finer but, I think in this recipe, courser would be awesome too!gazpacho cucumber soup in a small white bowl garnished with green onion

    Easy, delicious and refreshing!  This also is the perfect appetizer for a light lunch.

    Notes

    A great way to use up all your garden cucumbers!

    One of my golfing friends told me about this gazpacho recipe.  She was at a luncheon and all the ladies loved it!  So much, that they asked the chef how it was made.

    A little pineapple purchasing hint!  Did you know many grocery stores will sell peeled and cored pineapple at the same price as the regular pineapple?  Buy it already looking like this!  Then you can easily use it for recipes or cut into spears for snacking.

    Yea, I cheat.  I hate peeling and coring pineapple.   Bought mine with that already done for $1.99.   Just sayin'..........let the store do the work for you!  Found that out a few years ago from a neighbor.

      I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe so much that you put it on your fabulous blog! I'm really NOT a "cold soup" person, but I LOVED this from the first spoonful! You are right that the ingredients seem like a weird combo, but oh, so delicious!
