The ingredients may sound surprising in this Spanish inspired soup but the flavor is delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day.

1/8 cup blanched almonds, finely ground

1/2 cup breadcrumbs, made from toasted bread

3 medium cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 pound green seedless grapes, cut in half

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

In a small food processor blend almonds, bread crumbs and garlic until a paste forms. Add oil and process. Spoon into a bowl. Stir in honey and vinegar. Once combined mix in water, ice cubes and grapes. Set aside for 30 minutes to chill.
Ladle into bowls and top with a few sliced almonds.
