Cucumber Avocado Dip Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on October 17, 2022 in Dips

Hello Friends,

I was talking to my mom the other day and she mentioned that she tried out this Cucumber Avocado cold soup recipe. “Refreshing” is the only word she used to describe this to me and with just a  few ingredients and not much time to spend in the kitchen, I said to myself “why not try it). 🙂

I spent most of Sunday morning cleaning up my front garden, I do enjoy gardening but it is so exhausting.  I mention in one of the past posts that I wanted to renovate my back garden.  But I need to also change it up a bit put a little Sophie into it. 🙂  It’s been in the same state for more than 10 years and we’ve been living here for about 6 years.  Definitely another job to add to my to-do list for next year.  

When I was done with the garden, I went to prepare this interesting cold soup.  During the summer I always have cucumbers on hand.I love the refreshing taste it gives to salads.  And since I consider myself to be a salad fan it would not make sense not to have cucumber in my salad. 

About this recipe, let’s see hmmmmm I can’t say that I enjoyed this as a cold soup,  but I definitely loved it as a dip.  I had some tortilla chips leftover and I had to try and see if this tasted better as a dip.  I made a second portion and added just a tad bit of chili peppers to make a bit more interesting. 🙂  This was definitely much better!!! 

I’ve been watching a series on Netflix,  it’s not a series I guess that everyone would watch but here goes.  My brother has been a Comic/Batman collector from a very young age.  And so along with him, I am sort of a fan too. 🙂  I have been following most of the movies/series, like Superman, Batman, Flash, and YES Arrow.  I have been binge-watching Arrow over the weekend. 🙂 and let’s not forget Ironman…My fav…Love to watch Robert Downey Jr. 🙂 So, there it is I am a fan of all these Superheros heheheh  You guys now know one of my little secrets 🙂  Well, it’s not a secret anymore. 🙂

I have the opportunity to meet and speak with many people from around the world of all ages.  One thing is for sure, that there are many people seriously into collecting Superhero action figures. 

And also one more thing, I was finally able to change my theme.  I have to thank my friend Erkan who truly helped with setting it up.  I am definitely not a tech person and If it wasn’t for him I would probably still be staring at it today.  🙂

Soup or Dip?  Would love to hear your feedback 🙂

Have a good day and a great week!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
