What is this Spanish dish?

Ajoblanco is a traditional Spanish cold soup originating from Andalusia, particularly popular in the provinces of Málaga and Granada. It is made primarily from almonds, garlic, bread, olive oil, vinegar, and sometimes grapes. The almonds and garlic are blended together with water-soaked bread to form a creamy base, which is then seasoned with olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Ajoblanco is typically served chilled and garnished with green grapes or sometimes melon, adding a contrasting sweetness to the soup's rich and nutty flavors. It is enjoyed as a refreshing dish during hot summer months, showcasing the use of local ingredients and the culinary heritage of southern Spain.
