Ingredients:
6 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded & diced
1 sweet onion, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded & diced
1 red pepper, seeded & diced
1 green pepper, seeded & diced
3 celery stalks, peeled & diced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Agave syrup
4 cups tomato juice

Method:
In a small mixing bowl place a ¼ cup of the tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, red & green peppers and celery. Mix along with the parsley and chives and reserve.
