GAZPACHO

GAZPACHO

Base Ingredients:

6 medium vine-ripe tomatoes, halved (depending how much you want)
1/2 to 1 cup packed fresh basil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (I used much less)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I used Tamari)
1-2 clove garlic
Freshly ground black pepper or sea salt to taste

"Meat" Ingredients:

1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
1-2 cobs of corn, kernels cut off
1/2 apple, chopped (I didn't use this... I think it's overkill but personal preference. If anything, I would use a tiny bit for a subtle kick)
1/5 jicama, chopped

BASE: Combine ingredients in a blender until desired consistency is reached.

"MEAT": Combine the chopped vegetables and fruit in a large bowl. Pour the base mixture into the bowl and mix well. Serve well-chilled... supposedly it tastes even better the next day but I'm sure that diminishes the nutrients.

Some of the ingredients you can alter depending on your personal taste....
