Cucumber Gazpacho

Call it a summer salad, or a raita, it's a perfect recipe when you want some light and filling food. No cooking time required and super healthy too. Moreover, Gazpacho is a soup bursting with flavor and exploding with nutrients that will improve your weight, skin, and energy. You can have this as a dip too. We enjoyed with some nachos and chips as well.
