Gazpacho

1 clove garlic
1 red pepper
1 med cucumber, deseeded
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp lemon juice.
2 cups tomato juice

Whizz in Blender. Garnish with croutons and diced avocado.
Make it a meal with some grilled shrimp or use is as a sauce for grilled fish - halibut, tilapia etc.

Croutons: So easy to make at home and SOOOOOO much better than the packaged kind
1/2 loaf crusty bread, cubed ( the staler the better)
3 tbs olive oil
salt and pepper

Heat oil to med-high in large pan. Add bread and toss around until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel and season with salt and pepper - you will never go back!!!!
