Great recipe!! I did do a few different things to make it my own (which might be reflected in the picture I submitted?). I sided it with sliced avocado, stuffed crabs, and wheat crackers. I was not able to find seedless cucumbers at my market, so I used a regular cucumber, halved it, sliced it lengthwise, then scooped out the seeds with a melon baller. Changes I made:
- Put half of everything in the blender to smooth it out, then added the other half of the tomatoes for a few seconds just to chop them down a bit.
- Used lime juice instead of sherry vinegar.
- Added about 1/2-1 cup V8 juice, and 1/2 tsp. each of cumin, curry, and cayenne pepper to give it a slight kick.
- Used 2 serano peppers instead of 1 jalepeno (it's what I had on-hand) and used cilantro.
My husband LOVES this recipe, and he was looking forward to it again this summer!
