Ingredients

  • 5 vine-ripened roma tomatoes coarsely chopped*
  • 3 stalks celery coarsely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper coarsely chopped
  • 1/3 red onion coarsely chopped
  • 4 medium cucumbers peeled
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/2 – 1 jalapeno diced
  • sea salt
  • finely ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup organic vegetable broth
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • fresh green onion sliced (for garnish/to taste)
  • fresh cilantro for garnish/to taste

Instructions

  • Add the cucumbers, bell pepper, and red onion into a food chopper or processor and blend until finely chopped/minced, then empty into a tall tupperware container.
  • Process chopped celery stalks with the tomatoes (they process a bit better when mixed with something that has juice in it).
  • Add garlic and jalapeno. Sprinkle in salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Juice two limes and add to the mixture.
  • Garnish with diced avocado, sliced fresh green onion, and cilantro, as desired!
  • For best taste, let it set in the refrigerator for at least two hours (overnight if possible) to let the flavors all meld together!

Notes

*If you get super desperate and there are no fresh tomatoes to be found anywhere, you can use cans of petite diced tomatoes to sub in.
