Chunky Gazpacho

I know there are a lot of different Gazpacho recipes on here. My version varies from most of them because I don't puree it. I dice everything and leave it chunky. It also doesn't have any bread in it as many others do. I hope you like it! Feel free to mix up the veggies and change the quantities. I switch out the peppers when I make it for my mother since she doen't like them. This recipe makes a lot so it's great for a summer bbq.
