Evie’s Raw Vegan Taco Salad

Any diced veggies desired:
tomatoes
cucumbers
green onion
jalapeƱo
bell pepper
etc.
sauerkraut
raw taco meat (see below)

Serve on a bed of romaine and greens. Top with desired veggies, raw taco meat, and dressing. 

Raw Taco Meat:
Equal parts walnut and carrots*
dash of Bragg’s liquid aminos or coconut aminos
cumin and chili powder to taste

Combine ingredients in food processor and pulse till crumbly.

*NOTE from Evie: I’ve only ever seen it with all walnuts BUT I saw a video on instagram where someone made it with equal parts carrots and it worked great! I’ve also made it with walnuts and mushrooms before but it’s much wetter and changes the flavor. The carrots are surprisingly neutral. 

Dressing:
I’m sure Evie did some sort of delicious veggie blend in the 
Vitamix—she's good at that. But I usually just combine cashew yogurt and salsa and vinegar for a nice Southwestern-flavored dressing.

Evie’s Raw Vegan Pad Thai

For the sauce:
1 cucumber
2 apples
1/4–1/3 C. raw almond butter
garlic, to taste
ginger, to taste
onion powder, to taste
2–3 Tbsp. coconut aminos
hefty squirt of sriracha
1/4 C. (or so) apple cider vinegar
5–8 dates (adjust to taste)

1) Blend ingredients in Vitamix until smooth.

2) At the end, add a few chopped carrot pieces and blend slowly to get some crunchy texture like peanut sauce.

For the "noodles"
spiralized zucchini
water sprouts
snow peas
broccoli
chopped greens
julienne carrots
red bell pepper
purple cabbage
sweet onion*

Top with:
cilantro
crushed red pepper
lime

*Note: I dehydrate these two in the oven for a few hours or use green onions because raw onion is very strong.
