My Grandmother’s Gazpacho

Serves 12+ easily

Ingredients

• 6 Tomatoes chopped 
• 1 large cucumber chopped
• 1 medium purple onion chopped
• 1 green pepper chopped
• 2 stalks of celery chopped
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1-1/2 c. Tomato juice or V-8 which is what grandma always used
• ¼ c. Basil Olive Oil (I have also used the Harissa to keep it spicy!)
• 2-3 TBSP Neapolitan Balsamic Vinegar 
• S&P as desired
• 1 TBSP Teeny Tiny Spice Perfection Spice Rub

Add all chopped veggies to large bowl, add juice, oil and vinegar, S&P, garlic and spices and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.  It will get “soupier” and deeper in flavor as it sets.

We serve with tortilla chips.
