Cucumber Gazpacho

Gazpacho is an soup, served cold. It can be made with fruit or vegetables. There are Strawberry Basil, Canteloupe Mint, Heirloom Tomato.. lots of variations.
There were 4 cucumbers in the fridge this morning and a request for a chilled soup, and after 30min in the kitchen I came up with this tasty concoction.

Chilled Cucumber Zinger with garlic croutons
4 cucumbers
5T yogurt
1 1/2 t red wine vin
1/2 t mustard
spoonful salsa
1 diced tomato (skin& seeds removed)
1/4 t cumin
1 clove garlic
1/4c diced onion
1/4 lemon squeezed
fresh dill to taste
salt & pepper

Peel and remove seeds from cucumber. Chop and toss into food processor with the remaining ingredients. Chill and serve with croutons! This would also taste nice with chopped hard boiled eggs.. trust me.

Croutons
3 slices bread
2T oil/butter/margarine
1 clove garlic
herbs
paprika
touch balsamic vin
salt& pepper

You can make croutons any way you like em. Lately, I've been on this kick of adding paprika and a touch of balsamic vinegar.

Turn the oven on low broil. Cut the bread into crouton size pieces. Chop garlic and add it into melted butter or oil. Add the rest of the ingredients to taste. Roll the bread pieces into the mix, spread them on a tray, and crisp in the oven until you have croutons!!
