Directions:
Put 1½ cups of mixed vegetable into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!

After the vegetables are processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and rest of the vegetables. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop, at least overnight.

Personal Notes:
*Balsamic vinegar would be an excellent substitute for the white wine vinegar. I recommend Spectrum Organic White Wine Vinegar in this recipe.
