I’ve made this dish for MANY years during the hot months. I actually make it a little different each time because I use what’s in the refrigerator. I also always use Cento San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes because they taste perfect with this dish. Great as a snack or side dish and super fast to make! (I’ll make it again tomorrow and take a picture so you can see how delish it looks!)

Directions

• Place all Strawberries, Tomatoes, Cucumber and Garlic in food processor.
• Process until mixture is very smooth (perhaps 2-3 minutes)
• Add Lemon Juice, Balsamic Vinegar and blend slightly.
• While processing on slow speed, add enough Vegetable Broth to get a smooth, silky texture.
• Taste and adjust with Sea Salt and process slightly till you like it.
• Allow to cool in refrigerator for 15 minutes. When ready to serve, garnish with Strawberry slices and Avocado cubes. Sprinkle with Cilantro.

I’ll post the recipe after I make it. (realize I ‘Jedi Cook’ – meaning I don’t always go by a recipe, I often just make it up with ingredients on hand)
