Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and prep all the vegetables. Roughly chop the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into chunks for easier blending.
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky, depending on your preferred texture.
Drizzle in the olive oil and red wine vinegar and blend again to emulsify the mixture.
Add Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse a few more times to mix thoroughly.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed. For a brighter flavor, add a little more vinegar; for richness, a small drizzle of olive oil can be added.
Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Optional but recommended.)
Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, pita chips, crackers, or a baguette.
