Fresh Veggie Toss


This is based on "raw mac" but is a bit lighter.
Raw Mac:
1 12 oz. package raw kelp noodles or spiralized zucchini*
1 Tablespoon raw almond butter
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste


Rinse kelp noodles well in warm water. Strain. Mix remaining ingredients in bowl until smooth and combined. Toss noodles until well coated.


Eat immediately for a crunch mac and cheeze (kelp noodles are crunchy out of package, and zucchini can be too.) Alternatively, let sit at room temp or in 105 degree dehydrator (for a warm mac and cheese) for 1-2 hours. This will soften the noodles. Toss with these chopped fresh ingredients:


tomato
cauliflower
cucumber
green pepper
shaved carrot
raw peas


*In place of kelp noodles, you could substitute spiralized zucchini. Resembling an apple corer/peeler, you place the vegetable in the device, turn the handle on one end and the blade of the other end provides spaghetti-like cuts of the vegetable as it is pushed through. This would be your raw noodle.
