Tomatillo Avocado Gazpacho only requires a blender and a few ingredients. This chilled soup is refreshing, tangy, and as spicy as you want it to be. Plus Tomatillo Avocado Gazpacho is oil-free and healthy!

I love using salsas and hot sauces in recipes, especially LA VICTORIA® Brand. They sure make creating recipes like Tomatillo Avocado Gazpacho a breeze.

And did you know they are celebrating their 100th anniversary? That’s right! LA VICTORIA® Brand started in 1917.

To celebrate, I’m making all sorts of recipes using their delicious products.

And they want YOU to join in the celebration, too!

Check out the events happening in San Diego and Los Angeles.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it. They have plenty of amazing recipes created by local professional chefs for you to try.

And so do I!

One of my favorite LA VICTORIA® Brand salsas is the Mango Habanero.

I use it to make Mango Habanero Hearts of Palm Ceviche.

I also really enjoy the Salsa Brava Hot Sauce. It goes great on everything from tacos to corn on the cob, to simple black beans.

And check out the Blistered Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower from Chef Eduardo Ruiz.

I decided to make my own version based on this recipe which I call Warm Brussels Sprouts & Cauliflower Salad.

It’s a great side dish for Chef Christine F. Rivera’s Wood Grilled Adobe Squash Taco.

And of course I’m really excited to share with you my recipe for Tomatillo Avocado Gazpacho! Doesn’t it look easy to make from the video?

This is why I love cooking with LA VICTORIA® Brand. It makes your dishes so flavorful without spending a lot of time and money on other ingredients.

And the flavors really compliment the West Coast style dishes I enjoy.

I like to top this gazpacho verde with extra cucumber and avocado, plus roasted corn, red onion, and cilantro. But you can use whatever ingredients you like, such as green, red, or yellow bell peppers or tomatoes.

This green gazpacho is fantastic to make when the weather is warm. All you need to do is throw your ingredients in your blender and let the soup chill for about an hour. Or you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight until you’re ready to eat.
