Sounds good, much like the gazpacho I once made. Only, I put in a lot
of cumino (cumin).

I'm given to understand that's authentically Spanish, but it always makes
the gazpacho taste like salsa to me. I always leave it out.

Recipe
1 green bell pepper, peeled with vegetable peeler and chopped
1 Vidalia onion, chopped
3 cucumbers, peeled, seeds removed
4 large ripe tomatoes, quartered
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1-1/2 c. Bloody Mary Mix (I used Zing Zang)
1 tsp. salt
Sprigs of parsley for garnish
Croutons

Save 1/2 c. each of the green pepper, onion, cucumber and tomato for garnish. Put all the ingredients, except for the parsley and croutons, in the blender. Turn on and blend until smooth. You can't beat a Vitamix for this step!

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with spoonfuls of the reserved veg. Add 2 or 3 croutons and sprigs of parsley, if desired.

I've never in my life peeled any raw bell pepper, WHY?
I don't bother removing the skin when roasted... WHY?

Only from over growns

What kind of tomatoes, romas or salad?

This was the first time I've ever seen a raw bell pepper peeled. It's a texture thing.

I've tried making various recipes but never liked the end result. Then I got
some bottled stuff at QFC. It was delicious.

This is not authentic but it is my favorite gazpacho recipe and it's
fast and easy to make:

GAZPACHO

Place in blender* (reserving any combination of chopped tomato,
cucumber, bell pepper and onion for garnish):

3-4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
4 tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ice water
salt and pepper to taste

Blend until desired consistency.

*If you have a stick blender just throw everything into a large jar and
mix it up in there - less cleanup.

Mine is not authentic either, there's no such thing as authentic
gaspacho, there are as many versions as there are those who prepare
it... I never measure except by eye and how bountiful my garden.

One large clove smashed and finely chopped is plenty.

>1 cucumber, chopped

I grow my own Kirbys, pick two pounds of small ones, no more than 4",
trim the stem ends and dice small, peeling not necessary.

>1/2 green pepper, chopped

I use a couple large blocky green bell peppers and finely dice.

>1/2 small onion, chopped

1 medium sweet onion finely diced.

>4 tomatoes, chopped

A dozen Romas, diced (~1/4").

>2 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup EVOO.

>3 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Juice of one lemon is far superior.

>1/2 cup ice water

Not necessary.

>salt and pepper to taste

1 rounded tsp Penzys Adobo... since it contains no salt use to taste
and add kosher salt to taste... Adobo also contains granulated garlic
so taste.
I also add curly leaf parsley, a fistful, minced, mince the stems too.
Just planted today.

Blending ruins perfectly good veggies, learn to use a knife.
I typically fill a 4 qt bowl and refrigerate 24 hours before digging
in... goes nicely with sliced avocado. For those who like a little
heat add drops of Melindas... choose which heat level you prefer:

Thanks! I think my issue with it prior was the bread. I did not like the
texture it gave.

I think I know what you mean. This is light and refreshing and is
perfect on a hot summer day.

Many gazpacho recipes include bread as a thickener. Of course, it can be
omitted.
