Green peppers?

ingredients

4 green onions (scallions) chopped thin
1 cucumber, pared, chopped coarse
1 green pepper, chopped(?)
4 medium tomatoes, (may be heirloom) chopped
2 Tbs minced parsley
1 clove garlic mashed
1 red onion chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Tbs Olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups tomato juice
dash of Tabasco or Sriracha hot chili sauce

directions

1
Combine all ingredients (except the pepper) and refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving.
2
Serve with dollop of sour cream and croutons.
3
We usually double the recipe and skip the green pepper.
4
Another genius idea is skipping the tomato juice, and pureeing half of giant bowl to create the “stock.”

notes

This started as Mom's recipe, but there were a few additions and subtractions (red onions and peppers being two) Plus the substituting a purée for tomato juice.
