Gazpacho and Guacamole

Two wonderful summer foods:

Gazpacho:  One 46 ounce can of V8 Juice, One 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes; Three large seeded, chopped small cucumbers; two stalks celery-peel the strings with peeler then chop small; one red pepper and one green pepper-both seeded and chopped small; 3 scallions-white and green parts chopped small; three garlic cloves chopped small.  Add all ingredients in a large pot or bowl and mix. Then add a dash of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of dill.  You can add chopped jalapeno or hot sauce if you like.  Keep in fridge and serve cold.

Guacamole:  Two ripe avocados-peeled and mashed; two garlic cloves chopped small; cherry tomatoes chopped small; red onion chopped small; one jalapeno seeded and chopped small; salt; fresh lime juice. Mix and enjoy.

Did I mention to chop everything small?  :)
