Chill with my absolute favorite :: Italian Gazpacho
It's the perfect concoction of flavors for a light summertime dish that is high in GLOW GIRL nutrients! Make sure you use only the freshest, highest quality (organic) ingredients. Takes a total of 5-10 minutes depending on how fast you pick the basil off the stems!
Ingredients
3 large red tomatoes
1/2 a red bell pepper
1 c. sun-dried Tomatoes (i LOVE the brand, 'Mediterranean Organic' packed in olive oil)
3 tbl pine nuts
1 small clove garlic
1 handful of FRESH basil leaves
2 tbl Olive oil or Flax oil
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cayenne (optional :: i like it hot!)
Directions
Soak pine nuts in water (they say for 7 hours, but if your impatient do it for at least 20 minutes -better than not at all - Why? Because when you soak nuts it improves your digestion and you'll feel less sluggish. Plus, the nutrients & enzymes increase tenfold when soaked!) Chop tomatoes into big chunks and add ALL ingredients into blender (you have to watch this!) and cover with 1/2 cup of water (or more for desired consistency) Blend thoroughly. It's as easy as that and Mamma Mia!
