|
Ingredients
8 large tomatoes, peeled OR 1 (20 ounce) can tomatoes, chopped 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped small 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped small 2 red onion, chopped fine 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon Tabasco or other hot sauce |

Steps
- Stir together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl or pot. I use a hand-blender to blend it up just a bit - but you don't want it smooth.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve in bowls with cilantro or green onion for garnish.
