When it’s too hot to turn on the oven, an easy gazpacho always wins. This version, best made with small, flavorful zucchini, gets its fresh taste from a good hit of mint.

1 1/2 pounds small zucchini, cut into 1” pieces
1 large clove garlic, chopped
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/2 to 3/4 cup water

Puree everything but the water in a food processor until soupy. Add water to achieve desired consistency, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
