shallots
cucumbers
basil leaves
croutons
Directions:
Combine the tomatoes, onion, pepper and cucumber.
Stir in the shallot, garlic, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Use a blender or food processor to puree.
I like this better if it is a bit chunky but puree according to taste.
Pour this mixture into a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
Let this mixture sit in the refrigerator for any thing from a couple of hours to a day (better).
When you want to serve it, let it sit out til it reaches room temperature (about half an hour).
Scoop into bowls and sprinkle with toppings.
I like to serve this with cheesy garlic bread.
It is soooo good.
