Refreshing Gazpacho
I made this for a Ladies group Leslie had here and everyone seemed to love it, so here's the recipe.
1 1/2 pounds roma tomatoes chopped
24 oz.Tomato juice
1 english cucumber, peeled and chopped
3 stalks Celery
1/2 cup chopped red & yellow bell pepper
1/2 medium red onion chopped
1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
If you have a vitamix or similar mixer, combine all ingredients and run on slow speed until desired consistency ( should be plenty of juice but have medium to small chunks for texture)
If you don't have a vitamix take half of all the veggies and puree them in blender or food processor. Take remaining veggies in food processor and pulse 5 or 6 times until veggies are small chunks, combine all ingredients.
Chill Well before serving! Garnish with fresh herbs (Basil or Mint work very nicely)
