Gazpacho
3 cups tomato juice
2 tomatoes
1 cucumber, peeled
1 green pepper, seeded
1 jalapeno (optional)
1 small onion
3-4 garlic cloves (or use to your taste if you like garlic!)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste
Basically, roughly chop all the veggies, put them all in the blender (or you can also use a food processor), blend until smooth and enjoy.
This took up our ENTIRE Vitamix, so you may have to do it in two batches if you have a smaller blender or food processor.
See how full it was?! |
Veggie Pico de Gallo
1 tomato, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded &minced
1/3 cucumber, seeded & chopped
1/4 green pepper, seeded & chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
handful of cilantro
olive oil
lime juice
red wine vinegar
salt to taste
Basically, chop everything up, just the way you like it, sprinkle in some olive oil, red wine vinegar and lime juice and mix. Add a little salt to taste. You could also add in some mango, apple or avocado, which would both be delicious. Just use your imagination, it's hard to go wrong with fresh ingredients.
Put this on top of your gazpacho to add a little crunch. We also added a little more hot sauce to taste to our own bowls to spice it up.
This is especially good in summer when the tomatoes are super fresh. Hope you enjoy!
