DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Dump 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice into a blender or food processor.
• Add the vegetables, then the seasonings.
• I start w/ a little add more after I've mixed it all up.
• Use the"chop" or"grate" function until the gazpacho is soupy but still has some good sized chunks.
• Taste and then add more salt, pepper, oil or basil to your preference.
• I usually serve this*very* cold as a summer appetizer or meal w/ tabasco and parmesean cheese on the side, and some good crostini or bread.
