cool as a cucumber soup

We made this last week for dinner and it was really very good. Destined for stardom, I'm sure.

Based on a recipe out of Jennifer Cornbleet's Raw Food made Easy, it's fast, delicious, good for you - everything you want from a raw food recipe.

ingredients
1 medium cucumber, peeled
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
4 mild lettuce leaves 
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (I used mint and dill)
1 clove garlic, crushed
splash olive oil
pinch salt and pepper

method
Blend everything together. Serve. Hurray!

No really, that's it. The dill is just fabulous in this dish, it really does work. It's creamy, refeshing and filling. Perfect.

Serve with awesome "crazy bread" or flax crackers.
