Raw Food, 10 fast points?

I created an almost-raw massaged kale salad. It has just a bit of oil.

Anyway, I take a bunch of kale, wash it, tear it from the stems into a bowl, and dry it. I put in a small amount of oil, and then I rub the leaves until they start to get a bit tender. I then throw in a splash of lemon juice and a splash of tamari (you can use Bragg's Aminos) and mix. Then I add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of nutritional yeast, 1 tsp garlic powder (maybe the only non-raw part about it), and some ground pepper. After I've mixed that up, I cut up some grape tomatoes and an onion and toss those in. You can eat it right away, but it's better the next day. And it will last a few days in your fridge. This makes about four to six servings.

Tsukemono- pickled vegetables, from Japan. These are so good to eat, tasty, very crunchy and mild too, some are spicey, depends on the vinegar you use. They're pickled from a fresh state, so they're very tasty.

This is just one recipes, but there's thousands, just google.

there's also Japanese cucumber with sesame seeds, pumpkin and black sesame, cashew cheese on raw crackers , oat cakes ( use dates, black pepper and salt to mix), lentils soaked with apple juice. Tons of things.

Soaking the small legumes for a few days really makes them tasty. Keep refreshing the water and rub the skins off after a few days.

If you're serious about raw, start to look at Japanese food- the condiments are pretty amazing. Sweet vinegar, soysauce, rice wine, sesame seeds, black and red beans, tamari sauce. Japanese people eat seaweeds and tsukemono all the time, and use all the veg they can, cabbage, peas, beans, courgettes, everything. THey use sweet vinegar, sesame seeds, black sesame, different salts, garlic and soysauces- flaooured with whatever fruit the sauce is made with. The eat pickled garlic, onions, bitter gourd, all kinds of pumpkins. My fave is bitter gourd, which, when pickled is so creamy and has a soft crunch. Not bitter at all. Melty.

Green peas and raw corn also make a really good side dish. Add diced red onion, coriander leaf, seasalt and garlic. Make sure the peas are either fresh or from frozen. Not canned.

There's a lovely salad made of beets, grapefruit, spinach and almonds. Make that too.

Well if you are OK with a rice paper roll. Get your rice paper sheet and follow instructions and cut all your raw veges on the longish side. You put grated carrot, cucumber, avocado slices, bean shoots, spring onion (anything you want) maybe some grated ginger, roll up into spring roll shapes and voila! You have rice paper rolls and then just dip into favorite dipping sauce, like sweet chilli or soy sauce. No oil involved. I have them often. Delicious!
