Herby White Gazpacho

Combine 3 cups cucumber, melon (or grapes), 1 1/4 cups almonds, broth, juice, shallot, 1 1/2 tablespoons mint and 3 teaspoons dill in a blender. Pulse until you get a coarse paste, then process until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly add oil. Add vinegar, salt and pepper; process on high for 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Just before serving, chop the remaining 1/4 cup almonds and combine in a small bowl with the remaining 1/2 cup cucumber, 1 1/2 teaspoons mint and 1 teaspoon dill; mix well. Serve the gazpacho topped with the cucumber mixture.
