Spicy Gazpacho with Beans

This was a very successful remake of a Weight Watcher's recipe. The original did not have beans and I used slightly different veggies. The vegetable juice used here was recommended in a recent Diabetes Forecast magazine.

This is a very chunky gazpacho. If you prefer a smoother consistency, process for a longer time in the food processor.

1. In a food processor, combine the cucumber, pepper, onion and garlic; pulse 8-10 times to break up. Add the beans vegetable juice, vinegar, pepper sauce and salt; process to a fine dice. Transfer to a nonreactive bowl and refrigerate, tightly covered, at least 2 hours.

2.  Serve, sprinkled with the tomato.
