Ingredients

  • 6-7 Tomato medium, use vine-ripened when possible, and don’t use the green salad tomatoes!
  • 1 green pointed pepper
  • 1 cucumber
  • ½ white onion small
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 60 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil quality is important
  • 1 splash Sherry vinegar – Vinagre de Jerez although red or white wine vinegar can be substituted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional toppings: e.g. diced green apple diced onion, diced pepper, croutons, & hard-boiled eggs

Instructions

  • Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well—if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
  • Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
  • Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
  • Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
  • Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
  • Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
  • Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
  • Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
  • Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
  • Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.
