gaga for gazpacho...

gazpacho is my favorite summertime food, and it's super simple, quick, healthy & cheap to make. i just made it on sunday and have had it for lunch at work everyday this week. here's my off-the-cuff recipe...

ingredients: 6 super ripe tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1 medium red pepper
1/2 small red onion
1/4 jalapeno (optional or heat)
cilantro, as much or as little as you like, but chop it up first
1 12oz. can of V8
2 tbs of garlic salt
juice of one lime
salt & pepper to taste

prepare:
chop everything up into smaller portions and put in your blender or food processor in batches. blend as chunky or fine as you prefer...i like mine a little less chunky. add garlic salt, s&p & lime juice at the end. chill in fridge over night...serve with a dollop of sour cream & tortilla chips
