If you’re a lover of savory fruit salads, here’s a good one, sweet with juicy pineapple, chewy with finely chopped kale, and pungent with both garlic and fresh ginger. A bit of fresh orange juice… and raw macadamia nuts to make a dense, almost mayonnaise-texture dressing… and this becomes an extremely versatile dish. You can [...]
Lately I’ve been exploring the surprising versatility of raw zucchini. When I discovered that it is neutral-tasting and rather creamifying in raw smoothies, I thought it might make a very nice salad dressing. And I was right! You could even use this as you would mayonnaise, in a salad sandwich. Here is an excellent base [...]
This milky dressing is light and nicely flavored with fresh garlic and olive oil to stand up to any ingredients you’d like to toss in. Paired very simply with fresh finely-chopped kale and hothouse cucumbers, anything would work in this dish: olive, red peppers, red onion, and pine nuts come to mind as great suggestions. [...]
This is one of those recipes I wish I’d known how to make back when I first encountered the whole raw & living food world. Would have made staying “high-raw” so much easier. This “hummus” is made from raw macadamia nuts and a few other utterly pedestrian ingredients. It takes only a few minutes, and [...]
I seriously appreciate dishes that will keep in the fridge for a few days so there’s always something around to dip into, snack on, or use to whip up a quick meal. Cabbage is a great vegetable to work with in that regard, because it marinates well and holds up to dressing. Like a stew, [...]
There are so many ways to make dips and sandwich fillings with avocado and sprouts, but here’s a good, everyday recipe that can be modified so many different ways. Add cilantro or any other fresh herb for a different aromatic quality. Add chopped celery, cucumber or red pepper for crunch. Add garlic. Add chiles, ginger, [...]
My son, who dislikes both cabbage and kale, gave this Kale-Cabbage Slaw salad a thumbs-up. With a creamy, zippy Citrus-Garlic Dressing and the sweetness of red grapes, it’s got a lot of zing and appeal to dress up the stronger flavors of the slaw. This salad is perfect for entertaining and a raw pot luck [...]
This luscious dressing is mild, creamy, slightly sweet, uses no oil, and is vitally “alive” with avocado, fresh orange juice, garlic, and raw honey (or agave nectar, if as a vegan you do not consume honey). Use it to dress up any salad, or as a spread on a raw or “rawish” Salad Sandwich. Would [...]
This recipe just explodes with flavor. I’ll remember to make a double-batch next time, because once the twenty-somethings came round, they were practically licking the bowl to get up every last drop. Almost felt bad I’d eaten so much of it for dinner. Uh…almost. p Eggplant… Tricky For Some Sensitive Eaters I’ve always had a [...]
You’ve got a cucumber and a couple tomatoes lying around… What can you make with it that’s…different? Use the tomatoes for the dressing! This simple, colorful twist on a salad made everyday in the home of Greeks everywhere is a feast for the eyes, and easily dressed up into infinite variations. The color of bright [...]
