keep on hand in summer months.

juice, and oregano in food processor or blender until smooth.

celery, 5 green onions, and cilantro in a large bowl; season to taste with

salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, 3 to 4 hours.

Cream and sprinkle with remaining green onion. Serve with hot pepper sauce

if desired.
