Green Gazpacho Salad Recipe with Tomatillos

Ingredients

• 6 organic tomatillos, chopped
• 2 cloves organic garlic, minced
• 2 medium organic cucumbers, sliced, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 2 organic green bell or poblano peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 1 medium organic white onion, chopped
• 1 organic green Anaheim chile, roasted, seeded and chopped
• 2 organic jalapenos, roasted, seeded and chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh organic parsley or cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons organic white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon organic lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
• 1/8 teaspoon organic hot sauce (or more to taste)
• 1 teaspoon organic cumin, ground
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground organic black pepper 
• 4 organic ripe tomatoes, cut into thick slices
• organic sour cream (optional garnish)

Instructions

Begin by roasting the Anaheim chile and jalapenos in the oven or on the stove top in a cast iron pan.

While the peppers are roasting, chop all the other vegetables and place them in a bowl with the sauces and spices. Add the roasted peppers once they are ready.

Note: If you want to make more of a gazpacho dressing, use a food processor to blend the chopped vegetables more thoroughly.

Once all the ingredients are combined, refrigerate the salad recipe for several hours to let the flavors blend. To serve, lay the tomato slices on a serving platter or individual serving plates and spoon the green gazpacho over the tomatoes with a slotted spoon. Top with a dollop of sour cream if you wish.
