Recipe, please, please, please!
I don't really use a recipe. I just read a lot of them and throw in what I have and like:
Celery
Onion
Tomato
Cucumber--peeled
Parsley
Bell pepper
Tomato Juice
Salt and pepper
A small garlic clove
1 tsp. Worcesterhire sauce
Tarragon or other white vinegar
Sometimes some lemon or lime juice
I probably use half or a little less celery than tomatoes. I don't always peel the tomatoes. I chop everything a little, string the celery, usually peel the tomatoes, etc.
Not as much bell pepper as celery and tomatoes. A little onion, about 2 tbsp parsley, sometimes if I have them I add chives.
My recommendation is start out, taste, add, taste, add some more. This will help you understand what you like and you'll be a pro after a time or to. Of course if you start adding Vodka things might not be so clear.
Sometimes I ad V8 but not usually. It's ok but I like tomato juice better.
It's a very personal thing--chop in blender as fine or not as I like is what I usually do. You can make it more like a drink or a soup. Serve it cold or room temperature. It is a wonderful appetizer either in a cup, small bowl or glass. Drink it or treat it like a soup. It is always different and always made to how I feel that day.
My favorite is a little finer, served out of a small glass or cup with spoon with a few club crackers on the side. If it's a soup, sprinkle a little parm cheese on top!

@denisemb You will have fun and it will be exactly what you want it to be! You can check out some recipes for proportions--I've just been doing it for 30 years so I just plop stuff in!
If you have a high power blender be careful not to make it a veggie shake! LOL!!!
