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!
