Donna's Fresh Gazpacho

Dear Friends, as you have probably guessed, I have made my gazpacho using up more of the Rainbow Slaw from Saturday - it is too good to waste :).  It has given me a good reason to post this recipe that is a standby in the summer in my kitchen and so easy to make.  Cheers!  Best, Donna:

Donna's Fresh Gazpacho

3 cups Red Gold Freshly Squeezed Tomato Juice or reduced sodium V-8 Juice

½ cup fresh salsa, medium

1 Tablespoon garlic, minced

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

5 dashes Tabasco sauce or to taste
