Ingredients
- 1 medium English cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cleaned and finely diced
- 1 36-oz can of petite diced tomatoes including the juice
- ½ cup V8 Vegetable Juice
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium cleaned and quartered red onion
- 1/3 packed cup flat parsley
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 raw large egg (optional)
- ½  cup V8 Vegetable Juice
Directions
In a large bowl add the first 8 ingredients. In a food processor puree the rest of the ingredients and add to the bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (but not overnight, the flavor is much better if served very fresh). Serve in chilled bowls with snipped chives on top.
