WHITE GRAPE AND CUCUMBER GAZPACHO image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb white grapes
2 slices white bread
1/3 cup cool water ( or a light broth)
1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 scallions (white and green parts)
1 clove garlic
3 tbl. fresh dill
2 tbl. cream cheese1/4 cup milk
1 - 2 tbl. white vinegar
2 tbl. extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

Put all but 4 grapes in metal bowl and put in freezer. Slice the 4 grapes in half and reserve for garnish. Tear bread in chunks, chop in food processor till fine crumbs. Then put them in the bowl of water. Toast almonds lightly (10 mins.) Set aside. Cut off cucumber ends; peel if you want; slice along with garlic, scallions and 1/4 almonds. Add bread crumbs and cheese and blend well. Note: I needed to add a little more liquid because it was too thick. Add cucumbers, scallions, dill, milk, vinegar, and grapes from freezer. Process until pureed. Add oil, salt and pepper. Serve with remaining grapes, almonds and dill. Can add extra cucumber but the original is delicious too!
