- 8 ripe tomatoes, Roma or round

- 1 medium cucumber, peeled (optional to scoop seeds out)
- 1 small green pepper, core and seeds out, chopped
- 1 small red pepper, core and seeds out, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 long red chilli, seeds out
- 4-5 drops of dōTERRA Wild Orange essential oil
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 tbsp Apple Cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Garnish with diced cucumbers, red pepper, red onion and more olive oil
How:
-
- Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Place tomatoes in boiling water for 20 seconds or until their skins crack. Remove and rinse under cold water. Peel the skin off, cut into quarters and remove the seeds.
- Peel the cucumber and cut in half going lengthways. Using a spoon, remove some of the more obvious seeds. Roughly cut all vegetables.
- Process tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, onion, chilli, garlic and wild orange essential oil with water and tomato juice in a food processor or a blender until fairly smooth consistency. Then add olive oil, vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper and process quickly until well incorporated but not over-blended so it starts foaming. Depending on the consistency you prefer, you can add more water or tomato juice.
- Eat right away or refrigerate for an hour before serving in bowls or glasses.
