3 cups tomato juice

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced
Makes about 6 servings.
Directions
- In a blender or food processor, puree half the cucumber,
one tomato, half the green pepper, half the onion and 1 cup tomato juice.
- Pour puree into a large bowl and add the remaining
tomato juice, vinegar, oil, pepper sauce, salt, pepper and garlic.

until serving time.

puree.
