Ingredients
| 6 |
large tomatoes |
| 1 |
large cucumber, peeled |
| 1 |
medium onion |
| 1 |
green pepper |
| 1 |
pepper, jalapeno |
| 3 |
cloves garlic, peeled |
| 1/3 |
cup red wine vinegar |
| 1/4 |
cup extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 |
teaspoons salt |
Directions
- Chunk the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and green pepper. Slice the jalapeño into strips.
- Dump the chunked tomatoes and garlic in the processor. Process until puréed.
- Add the cucumber, onion, green pepper and jalapeño to the food processor, along with the herbs, vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Pulse until the vegetables are chopped but not yet puréed, still with some texture. Add pepper to taste.
- Chill. Taste for seasonings: cold flavors lose strength, so you'll likely need to ramp up the vinegar, salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve cold. If desired garnish with ice cubes, chopped fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce, and serve with crackers or bread on the side.
