Ingredients
  

2 ripe cantaloupes, peeled, seeded, and diced

1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a blender, combine the diced cantaloupe, cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.

    Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and blend again until well combined. This will help thin out the gazpacho and add depth of flavor.

      Incorporate Yogurt and Flavorings: Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey (if using), and ground ginger to the blender. Blend on low until the mixture is completely smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

        Cool Down: Refrigerate the gazpacho for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and ensure it's perfectly chilled.

          Serve: Once chilled, give the gazpacho a good stir. Pour into bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.

            Enjoy: Serve the creamy cantaloupe gazpacho as a refreshing appetizer or light meal on a warm day!
