Gazpacho-Cool Summer Soup

Gazpacho

A cold, crisp, fragrant bowl of fresh summery goodness. Use your own home-grown veggies or go get them at your local farmers' market and make this soup that same day. The vitamins in this one will leap right out of the bowl, course through your veins and out your EARS, people.

5 Tbsp. olive oil
4 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
5 scallions (green onions), sliced
1 green pepper, diced
3 tomatoes, peeled and diced (plunge them in boiling water for one minute to easily remove skins)
4 cups V-8 juice
or substitute Zig Zang Bloody Mary Mix for the V-8 to spice it up.
