Tips for the Best Avocado Gazpacho:

• Use ripe avocados: The avocado should be soft to the touch but not mushy. This will ensure a creamy texture.
• Adjust the consistency: Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Some like it thicker, others prefer it more liquid.
• Spice it up: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped fresh chili.
• Garnish generously: A drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a few diced mango pieces elevate the presentation and flavor.
