Overall, this recipe is easy, as long as you know how to chop vegetables. The peeling, seeding, and chopping of tomatoes can be time consuming and a little messy, so be prepared! If that seems daunting, you could substitute canned tomatoes. However, the flavor profile would be very different. How to Peel a Tomato: 1. Fill a large pot halfway full of water and bring to a boil 2. Fill a large bowl with ice and water 3. Cut a small X on the bottom of the tomato 4. Drop tomato into the boiling water for 15 seconds 5. Move tomato to the ice water for 1 minute 6. Pat dry and peel! **Chop all vegetables into bite-sized/small-dice chunks Yields 8 servings Ingredients 3 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1 cup tomato juice (squeeze from the tomato leftovers or use bottled) 3 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1 red/orange bell pepper, chopped 1 roasted red pepper, peeled and chopped 1 small red onion, chopped 1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped 2 heaping Tbsp minced garlic 3 Tbsp almond meal 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 limes, juiced 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (can sub tamari) 1 tsp ground cumin 1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Directions 1. Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl 2. Transfer about 2 cups of the mixture to a blender and pulse for 10 seconds 3. Return to bowl and stir 4. Transfer another 2 cups of the mixture to a blender and pulse for 10 seconds 5. Return to bowl and stir 6. Repeat process a few more times until desired consistency is reached. I like to have a good mix of chunky vegetables and puree. 7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours prior to serving. I like it best the next day, as the flavors have a chance to meld. Notes Serve with freshly chopped basil and sour cream or greek yogurt, if desired Comments are closed.
