This Cucumber Gazpacho is one of my favorite elevated summer starters. It's light, refreshing and elegant enough to serve as an amuse bouche if you're serving a coursed meal. With an English cucumber, fresh herbs and lemon juice, the gazpacho is protein-rich thanks to Greek yogurt. Serve it in 2-ounce shot glasses, which makes 14 servings, or slightly larger portions as a chilled soup. Garnish with a few drops of good olive oil and a tiny sprig of fresh dill.

Peel an English cucumber and cut into chunks. Trim 2 green onions and rough chop. Juice the lemon.
Add the cucumber, onions and lemon juice to a high-speed blender with the rest of the ingredients – 16 ounces Greek yogurt, ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, ¼ cup fresh dill, 2 tablespoons fresh mint, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Adding 1 teaspoon honey is optional, but highly recommended.
Secure the lid and blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green.
Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled.
Serve cold in 2-ounce glasses as an amuse bouche (serves 14) or into small bowls for 4 appetizer servings. Garnish with a few drops of olive oil and a dill frond (optional).
