1 cup minced green pepper

1 tsp. honey

1 clove crushed garlic

1 diced cucumber

2 scallions. chopped

juice of 1/2 lemon & 1 lime (we used only lemon but lime would be good)

2 Tbs. wine vinegar

1 tsp. each tarragon (we subbed dill) and basil

dash of ground cumin

1/4 cup freshly-chopped parsley

dash of tabasco sauce

2 Tbs. olive oil

Combine all ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours. We chose to puree everything in a blender. Either way, it’s refreshing!
