  • 4 cloves Ontario Garlic, chopped
  • 1 small Ontario Onion, cut in chunks
  • 2 Ontario Sweet Peppers (green and yellow), cut in chunks
  • 1 Ontario Field Cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut in chunks
  • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) cooked Ontario Corn kernels

Instructions

In food processor, purée tomatoes, garlic and onion until smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Add peppers to processor and pulse until finely chopped; add to tomato purée. Process cucumber until finely chopped; stir into tomato purée along with corn. Stir in vinegar and oil; add enough tomato juice to make a thick soup-like consistency. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste and up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more vinegar, if desired.

Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve in chilled bowls, topped with julienned cucumber, peppers and croutons.
