GAZPACHO!!!

Just saying the name sounds like a celebration!  This is one of my favorite summertime supper/lunch foods.  Another great recipe that you can switch up ingredients as to your taste, or whatever happens to be ripe in the garden.  Experimentation is recommended highly :)

Ingredients:

1 to 2 diced tomatoes.  you can used canned in a pinch.
1/2 small onion finely chopped, or to taste. ( can substitute onion powder also.)
1 stick celery, finely chopped.
1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced.
1 carrot ( I use a veg. peeler to get very thin slices, then chop them, it makes them easier to eat.)
1 clove garlic minced fine.
1 green pepper finely chopped.
1 avocado chopped small. ( use a firm but ripe one, not too mushy.)
basil, fresh is best, but dried will do.  about 2 dashes.
salt, pepper to taste, and a shake or two of Worcestershire if ya got some, and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Just enough vegetable blend juice to cover the veggies.

Directions:

Mix all that stuff together in a bowl, and put it in the fridge for over night.  YUMMY!!!  I like to have mine with a bit of garlic bagel chips as a garnish.
