stale bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: crusts from any bread

Whole grain bread adds more fiber while crusts reduce waste.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile and is often cheaper.

Start with about 1.5 cups of chopped bell pepper, using a mix of colors if desired.

Core and chop the bell peppers, then add them to the food processor.

Take one cucumber, cut off the ends, slice it in half, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.

Cut the cucumber into chunks and add it to the food processor, pulsing until chunky but not pureed.

Add one roughly chopped onion and 1/3 cup of fresh parsley to the food processor and pulse to combine, ensuring not to over-process.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.

Prepare 2.5 pounds of tomatoes by making an 'x' cut on the bottom and blanching them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.

Immediately transfer the tomatoes to an ice bath to stop cooking and peel off the skins.

Puree the peeled tomatoes in the food processor until smooth, checking for chunks and processing further if necessary.

Combine the tomato puree with the vegetable mixture in a large bowl.

Add 1 cup of tomato juice, 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 finely diced jalapeno to the bowl.

Stir everything together until well mixed.
