Chilled Gazpacho

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups tomato juice (or use low sodium V-8)
  • 1 cup peeled, seeded, chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup each of chopped celery, cucumber,
  • bell pepper, and green onion (I’ve also added zucchini or corn if I have them)
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper  

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large glass or stainless steel bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. It gets even better after a couple of days. Serve cold. Very tasty and refreshing alongside a grilled steak or all by itself!
