Raw Vegan Gazpacho

1 cucumber, sliced into chunks
3 large tomatoes
1/2 pepper - any color but I used green
2 cloves garlic
2 celery stalks
1 tbsp lemon juice
Recipe called for 1/2 onion, but I did less than that because a lot of our recipes had been coming out too onion-y, so I needed to lay off.
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
dash pepper
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp basil
dash cayenne pepper

Blend or food process until smooth and I've heard at work that gazpacho is better on the 2nd day, as the flavors meld together. Serve cold.

I've heard that this is great and refreshing in the summer, but seriously, all I can think is that it's just like eating blended salsa. But whatever. At least it was something new and didn't involve jalapenos.
