Chilled Starfruit & Cucumber Gazpacho
A bright, cooling summer soup that balances the crispness of cucumber with the unique, sweet-tart profile of starfruit.
Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! Gazpacho is a chilled soup that relies entirely on the quality of its raw ingredients. While tomatoes are traditional, this green variation uses crisp cucumbers and sweet bell peppers. We top it with dehydrated starfruit, which provides an incredible visual flair and a slightly sweet, chewy contrast to the savory puree.
