1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 medium cucumber, chopped
1/2 medium green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/4 C. onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. parsley, freshly chopped

3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dijon style mustard
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Cooking Instructions
Instead of blending the vegetables to make the traditional soup, stop at the chopping phase and serve as a salad. Combine first 6 ingredients in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Combine all ingredients for the herb dressing and mix or whisk until thoroughly blended. Pour dressing over the vegetables; toss gently chill at least 2 hours. Arrange lettuce leaves on serving platter. Spoon salad over leaves and serve.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body." (Matthew 26:26)
