Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Bring the tomato juice to a boil in a small saucepan.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and completely dissolve the gelatin in the hot tomato juice.
Chill the V-8 Juice/gelatin mixture until it is slightly thickened.
Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well.
Pour the gelatin mixture over the vegetables and seasonings and stir well.
Pour the gelatin and vegetable mixture into individual dishes, a medium serving bowl, or a gelatin mold. If you are using a mold, spray it lightly with nonstick spray first, wiping off any excess spray.
Chill until firm, a minimum of 3 hours.

Notes

NOTES
The Molded Gazpacho Salad can be made 3 or 4 days ahead of time and refrigerated until the party.

If you are traveling any distance to your family holiday dinner, carry the Molded Gazpacho Salad in a cooler with some ice to keep it from softening.

VARIATIONS
You can substitute an organic tomato/vegetable juice for V-8. My favorite is the Knudsen Very Veggie Juice which comes in several varieties including a spicy version.

If you are following a Paleo or Primal diet, substitute 2 teaspoons Great Lakes Gelatin and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for the sugar-free lemon flavored gelatin.
