sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice

a unique salad with a creamy sweet dressing

I love having sushi in the "raw". My favorite is futo maki and this is a rendition of the original futo maki that is made with pickled radish, egg or tamago, veggie and rice. At the same time, I wanted to use the fresh peas preshelled from the farmers market. I combined it with the golden zucchini then a touch of Hemp Ginger dressing.

I just decided this afternoon to put anything good I could find in my fridge into a nori sheet...and it turned out amazingly.

I grew up on meats and the one that I miss most, only flavor-wise, is bacon. I enjoy creating recipes that taste as close to my old unhealthy loves as much as possible. After researching this recipe and making my own adjustments and additions, I have been able to bring that salty crunch back into my life. My new obsession is the raw BLT, and I do intend to share that recipe with you all soon too, so stay tuned.

This was based on zoe's pizza recipe on this site, but I made a different topping using things I had around and it was quite tasty :) The 'cheese' is more creamy than cheesy but goes really well with the aubergine!
