A great raw slaw & juice question

[Nutcase]

I made an amazing slaw today and I just have to share. I can tell it's going to be even better tomorrow.

Shredded lettuce
cucumber cut into sticks
Red pepper in sticks
Scallions chopped

Sauce
Rice wine
honey
peanut oil
garlic
hot pepper flakes
Braggs

Man, this was really good. ;)

OK, now for the question. I tried to make a V-8 version of juice in my juicer today and it was thin and though the flavor was close, it kept separating into the various juices. Should I make this in a blender? Would that make it thicker? Or should I not use cucumbers-which generated a lot of juice?

This was fun for the first day. I think weekends are going to be about experimenting for a while. Weekdays will just be about eating...

i had the same v-8 question recently...to thicken it up, put the tomatoes in a blender and add other juices to it, it helps!!!

I wonder if it would help to add in sun dried tomatoes...I remember reading on the boards somewhere in the recipe section, that they lend a thickness to marinara sauce, so I would assume they would do the same to the tomato juice?

I noticed that the homemade dried tomatoes I used when making the pizza last week made the sauce nice and thick like pudding...

Hope that helps.

The recipe looks great! I'm going to try that this week.
