Directions
In a bowl, combine all but 1 C of the cuccumber, avocadoes, garlic, parsley, yoghurt, water or ice cubes, pepper. In a blender puree this mixture in batches until smooth, transfering it to a bowl or pitcher.. When everything is blended, add in the reserved cup of cukes and the scallions.
Mix and chill at least 1 hour.
Variation: I don't recommend this, but I did see someone put vodka into his bowl of soup once. He said that if we can mix vodka with tomato juice, why not with avocado and cuccumbers.... Posted to fatfree digest V97 #179 by Gloriamarie Amalfitano <gma@...> on Aug 14, 1997
