1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 pound ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup organic vegetable broth
6 strawberries, sliced

Preparation
1. Place tomato, cucumber, and bell pepper in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
