Fresh Tomato Gazpacho

1 clove garlic, cut into quarters

1 Melissa’s shallot, peeled and quartered

½ fresh red or green bell pepper, cut in half

½ cucumber, peeled and quartered

4 large tomatoes, peeled and quartered

½ t. salt

¼ t. Melissa’s Lemon Pepper

1 T. good olive oil

3 T. red wine vinegar

1 c. Cucumber Dill Bloody Mary Mix

Place all ingredients as haphazardly as possible into the work bowl of a food processor. Blend until thoroughly combined, 10 to 15 seconds.

Chill and serve topped with the garnish of your choice. (I used sour cream, a small slice of cucumber, and ground Melissa's Red Hatch Chile Pecans.)

Serves 8 (Unless you’re me, and then it only serves one.)
