Steps:

• Peel cucumber, but in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Cut into bite-sized pieces and put in a 3-quart, or larger, bowl.

• Add tomatoes, their juice, and tomato-vegetable juice.
• Rinse and drain black beans and add to the bowl. Add garlic, stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled, serve.
