It’s time to reap the benefits of your own garden or pick up a few fresh items from your local farmer’s market.
1 ½ lbs. tomatoes (red or yellow)
1 carrot
1 small cucumber
1 green bell pepper
1 lemon
1 clove garlic
½ onion
1 tablespoon parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, optional
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
½ pepper
3 cups Low Sodium V-8 or tomato juice
Peel tomatoes by dropping them in boiling water until the skin cracks. Then remove and the skin will easily peel away. Coarsely chop carrot, cucumber and pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lemon. In a blender or food processor, mix all the ingredients together in 2 batches until almost smooth. Refrigerate until cold, about two hours. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
