Gazpacho

Gazpacho. Low Fat Tacos

Gazpacho

I’ve read a lot of recipes for this one so feel free to add anything you like however some folks like to add oil to the recipe. I think it just adds calories and not much flavor so I skip that ingredients.

2 large cans of tomato juice

1 large can of V 8 Juice

4 large cucumbers diced and peeled

1 green pepper diced

½ cup of red wine vinegar

1 cucumber blended with some of the tomato juice.

1/3 red onion diced

I remove all of the seeds from the cucumbers before adding them to the soup.

For seasoning I use some Cajun seasoning, pepper, chopped garlic and some salt. You could probably skip the salt because the tomato juice is loaded with it. Or if you are on a low salt diet get low sodium juice for your Gazpacho.
