Recipe for the Gazpacho

1. In a food processor, puree all raw vegetables (cucumbers, tomatillos, onions, garlic, cilantro) with salt and vinegar until no large chunks remain and all is an even consistency.

2. Empty into a large bowl and set aside. In same food processor, puree together tomatillo salsa, green sofrito, agave nectar and lime juice.

3. Add this mixture to the fresh vegetable puree and whisk in water at end to thin down to a soup-like consistency. Chill overnight or for at least 4 hours. Serve in cups or small bowls with apple-cucumber pico on top of each serving as a garnish.
