SOUP OR SALSA, GAZPACHO,

By:


This is either a salsa or a soup. Simple blend ingredients for salsa and serve. Or for soup, use a stick blender to puree and serve.

We have used both in a variety of ways. Best over crab cocktail in place of cocktail sauce. Also makes a good shot of gazpacho to use with seafood appetizers, as seen in our FEAST OF SEVEN FISHES in December 2012.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup peeled, seeded, minced tomato

  • 1 cup peeled, seeded, minced cucumber
  • ¼ cup seeded, minced red pepper
  • ¼ cup seeded, minced green pepper

  • 2 ½  teaspoon finely minced tarragon
  • ¾  teaspoon celery salt
  • 3 tablespoons EVOO
  • 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Method:

Combine ingredients; for soup blend with stick blender. For salsa leave as is. Hold in refrigerator until needed, or up to 24 hours.
