My Gazpacho
4 15 oz cans diced tomatoes or 2 large cans (don't know ounces) diced tomatoes - see note below
2 peeled, seeded and chopped cucumbers
5 chopped celery ribs - remove as many of the strings as you can. You don't have to get them all, just the bigger ones
1 finely chopped green pepper
1 bunch finely chopped green onions - white part and a little green
2 finely chopped tablespoons garlic
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar
3-4 slices of jalapeno from a jar.
2-3 shakes of tobasco sauce
You can also add raw grated carrots, raw chopped zucchini, or raw chopped yellow squash - all or whichever you prefer - IF YOU WANT
Put all ingredients in a large bowl and let it blend overnight if possible. Serve with chips, toasted italian or other bread.
NOTE: If you can get good flavored fresh tomatoes, use those pealed chopped.
If you add ground cumin , jalapenos and chili powder, it would make this into a salsa.
