Fresh Radish Dip in Lettuce Boats


3-4 raw radishes
1-2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup cashew butter (or macadamia)
1/2 teaspoon salt


Finely chop radishes and garlic cloves in food processor. Add cashew butter and salt and mix until combined. Scoop in to lettuce boat. Top with desired optional ingredients.


Optional:
sliced tomato
lettuce leaves
grated carrot
sprouts
minced red onion


This could be served as a veggie dip, or as a dressing (add a little water to thin.) You could add a little nutritional yeast to the radish dip for a cheesier flavor.
I would love to eat this as a sandwich between two slices of raw onion bread, arugula lettuce leaves, brandywine tomato slice, grated carrot and sprouts. Yum!
