Gazpacho
What you need:
1 can or bottle of your favorite veggie juice (I like Knudsens Very Veggie--the seasoning is more interesting and not overly salted like V-8)
1/2 cucumber (about)
1/2 green or other bell pepper
2-3 stalks of celery
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove (more if you like garlic)
Dash of lemon juice if necessary (Very Veggie doesn't need it, other juices might)
Dash of your favorite seasonings (I like basil, thyme and powdered
What you do:
This is easy and refreshing, and you can pretty much make it up as you go along (nothing is exact).

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Bookpapa and I had this as part of our July 4 "picnic" and loved it. Instead of Knudsen's we used Whole Foods' 365 brand because it looked more tomato-y and thicker than Knudsen's. We used green onions instead of regular onions for a milder flavor and garlic powder instead of cloves. We dashed lemon, Tabasco, Bragg's, and vegan Worcestershire sauce. I added fresh basil but wouldn't do it again. When I'd get a piece it would overwhelm the other flavors instead of mingling.
