Spinach-Tomato Almond-Walnut Dip & Sandwich Spread: Totally Yummy, No-Soak, No-Sprouting, No-Cashew, No-Sesame Raw-Vegan “Hummus” Recipe

Unlike many recipes for savory or “cheesy” raw vegan dips and spreads, this recipe has no cashews. And unlike most hummus recipes, it has no sesame seeds, and no sprouting or soaking of nuts is required at all.

All you need here are some almonds, walnuts, raw spinach and tomatoes, and a few other goodies, and within minutes you’ve got a versatile dip, sandwich spread, canapé topping, or even raw pasta sauce…without any fanfare or exotic ingredients. And it’s loaded with fresh live greens to boot!

Make a Delicious, Hearty Salad Sandwich!

This was my lunch, and I’m tellin’ you…it was not only delicious, but just one raw-ish sandwich made with toasted Cinnamon-Raisin Ezekiel bread was completely filling and satisfying. Messy too, but…what’s a life well-lived without a little mess?

Creamy Bolognese Pasta Sauce with Baby Zucchini (a Raw Vegan Recipe for Everybody)

Pasta Night. Big tradition, definitely in our house. And normally, “raw pasta” dishes just don’t cut it for me. But this one… really satisfies. It has a flavor combination that should please a lot of palates, even if they’ve never been into “raw” very much.

And if you’re not quite on the 100% Raw Train, you can add some toasted Ezekiel bread for a hearty, grounding, filling meal and make it really do the job. This is a dish not just for the raw food fans, but for meat-eating, BBQ-loving guys, and for kids, as well.

Transposed directly from the recipe I used for years for the cooked version, learned from Marcella Hazan, this sauce bursts with flavor, and takes only minutes to get on the table. It’s creamy, looks cheesy, doesn’t use nutritional yeast or any raw food “tricks”, is made from simple, common ingredients… and really, really tastes yummy. This recipe alone fueled myself and a hearty meat-eating man for a long night of dancing.
