Best-Ever Guacamole
Sometimes I make a big batch of this and serve it with apple slices for dinner. Yum! Skeptics are always amazed by how good it tastes! You can also stuff romaine leaves with this to make "tacos". If you must use chips, try pita chips or multigrain chips-- just Not tortilla chips!
Thai Tomato Salad
This is a quick, simple recipe that makes a great appetizer or snack. To turn it into a larger salad, just add more dressing and greens. Delicious! Serves 2.
Raw Thai Spring Rolls with "Peanut" Sauce
This recipe is based on one my friend Ali made. Hers was a non-raw version that tasted so good, I knew I could make it just as good raw-style. We got lucky on this one, just replacing a couple of ingredients and marinating the mushrooms instead of cooking them-- it's now one of our favorite things to eat! This was even a hit with our carnivorous family members-- a great crowd-pleaser! The peanut sauce is actually made with almond butter instead of peanuts because peanuts are not technically raw, but it tastes just like the real thing!
Savory Raw Vegan Pâté
This is a recipe from the cookbook "Cooking With Trader Joe's." I got it for Christmas a few years ago, and it has a lot of great vegetarian recipes, but now that I am vegan it is of little use for me. However, there is this one recipe that is not only vegan but also raw! I figured I'd post it, but if there are any complaints about putting it up, I will happily remove it.
Yummy Spinach Pumpkin Seed Dip
I really like Pumpkin seeds and they have lots of vitamins and minerals like Iron (which I have worried about going raw) so everyday I soak some for the next day for something either smoothie or cereal then I experimented with this after seeing a raw sesame dip video and just made it up as I went. This recipe was my 2nd attempt at and it turned out better than my first (no oil, raisins or spinach in it)
