GAZPACHO - A Spanish Salad

Here is a terrific, full-flavored salad for hot weather meals.

1 - medium tomato - chopped
1 - medium Vidalia or Spanish onion - chopped
1 - medium green pepper - chopped
1 - stalk celery - chopped
1/2 - medium cucumber - chopped
2 - tsp. fresh parsley, chopped, or same amount parsley flakes
1 - tsp. garlic powder
2 - tsp salt
1 - tsp. black pepper
3 - tablespoons wine vinegar
3 - tablespoons olive oil
3 - tablespoons Worchestershire sauce

Combine ingredients in glass bowl. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Must be prepared ahead. Terrific the first day, but better the second and third days, if it lasts that long. Make sure that you stir thoroughly before serving each time.
Prep time 30 minutes. Serves 6.
