Ingredients
-
3-4
ripe tomatoes
-
1
medium cucumber
-
1/2
red onion
-
1
red bell pepper
-
1/2 cup
cilantro
-
2-3
garlic cloves
-
1
jalepeno
-
1
lime (juice)
-
1/4 cup
olive oil
-
2 tablespoons
apple cider vinegar
-
1 teaspoon
cumin
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Start by peeling your cucumber, plucking about half of a cup of cilantro leaves from their stems, and crushing your garlic cloves
-
Next you’ll want to core your tomatoes and give them a rough chop, along with your onion and cucumber. You’ll be throwing everything in the blender in a minute, but just for a head start.
-
Remove the stem and seeds from the pepper and jalapeno. I use a whole jalapeno, but you could just use half or omit it completely if you’re not a fan of the fire
-
Add all of the ingredients (including the liquid ingredients) to a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to work in batches. You can serve your gazpacho right away, but letting it hang out for a few hours (or even overnight) in the fridge will make it even better.
