easy flax 'grated cheese'

Servings: 
condiment for 2

this topping adheres to whatever you sprinkle it over. it’s creamy and slightly salty. i got this idea from one of the many books i peruse at barnes and noble, so i can’t remember who to credit.

Ingredients: 

2 tablespoon flax seeds (i like golden)
1 pinch coarse sea salt
1 pinch fresh black pepper (optional)

Preparation: 

grind everything in a coffee grinder.

sprinkle over zucchini pasta, kelp noodles, slaws, just about anything… it adheres like very finely grated cheese.

i like this in asia recipes best because it adds that salty intrigue without the soy.

ooh... dried herbs... that's a cool variation!

Thanks for this idea! I ate 1/4 of a cup just like this and then I got really creative, added a bunch of dried herbs to it, and rolled sliced avacado in it.

mango woman-- i add a LOT of greens and a good TB of spirulina, so it often looks like a dark pond, rather than a pretty light green. =)

Definitely will be trying this, i am a flax fanatic and tend to consume a lot of it. Simple as it is I have never thought of this but it sounds fantastic.

I love ground up flax seeds! Will try it with the salt and pepper!

OOOh, I so love this idea! I found something similar from Carol Alt, but not with flax, I have tons of flax lol.
