Hawaiian Pineapple Gazpacho

Ingredients

• 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
• 1 to 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
• 1 (6-ounce) can pineapple juice
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Garnish: fresh Italian parsley

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients except garnish in a food processor; pulse 4 to 5 times or until finely chopped. Cover and chill 1 hour.
2. Garnish, if desired.
3. Note: At the Lodge at Koele, the fruit and vegetables are typically blended until fairly smooth. But we like the liveliness of leaving the ingredients chopped. Either way, it's delicious.
