Steps
- Step 1
Peel the tomatoes. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Use a paring knife to make an "X" on the bottom of each tomato. Once the water comes to a boil, add the tomatoes. Boil for just 30 seconds (we're not cooking the tomatoes here, we're just making them easier to peel). Immediately remove from the boiling water to an ice bath. Allow them to cool for 1 minute before drying with a towel.
- Step 2
Prepare the tomatoes. Peel, core, and seed each tomato. Transfer the seeds and juice to a fine mesh strainer and reserve as much of the tomato juice as possible. Transfer the juice and peeled tomatoes to a large high-speed blender.
- Step 3
Prepare the bread. Place the bread under running water just until it's absorbed water. Gently ring out your bread (yep, it's possible), getting out as much water as possible. Transfer to the food processor with the tomatoes.
- Step 4
Add remaining ingredients and blend. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, strawberries, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cumin. Process until desired consistency is reached. Season with additional salt, pepper, and cumin, to taste.
- Step 5
Serve. Serve immediately garnished with your favorite toppings such as diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper, or transfer to the refrigerator to chill completely.
