(Raw Vegan) Casear Salad
Dressing
- 1/2 C soaked sunflower seeds
- 2 T raw tahini
- 3 T lemon juice
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp miso
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp kelp powder
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 C filtered water
In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Note: This dressing also makes a wonderful dip as well!
Parmesan
- 1/4 C pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 C nutritional yeast
- dash or two of sea salt
Process all ingredients in a food processor, or, I use my magic bullet.
Assembly
1 head of romaine lettuce, washed and chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, dress lettuce with a few spoonfuls of dressing and toss well. Sprinkle Parmesan on top (store leftover parm in a glass container).
Butternut Squash Pasta
- 1 peeled butternut squash
- truffle oil
- olive oil1 tsp + sea salt
- dried Italian mixed herbs
- basil for garnish
- black pepper
Using mandoline, thinly shave squash. Stack shaved slices and cut linguine sized strips. In a large bowl combine noodles and sea salt. Be generous with sea salt, as you will be rinsing most off. Vigorously massage noodles and salt, let sit for about 30 minutes. Once noodles have softened, rinse noodles in a colander (squeeze out excess liquid). In a large bowl toss softened noodles, equal parts truffle oil and olive oil, Italian herbs, and a dash of sea salt. Garnish with basil and fresh ground pepper.
