Vegan & Raw Food Recipes with Cilantro

Raw Tacos with Cashew Cream

When we prepare raw food dishes from other cultures, it is usually the specific spices and herbs that help us achieve the flavors associated with each country’s traditional cuisine. Mexican dishes emphasize cilantro, cumin, lime, chili and jalapeno peppers, all of which are included in these tacos.

 

Creamy Summer Squash Onion Soup

When the weather turns hot, we naturally gravitate towards lighter meals. Raw soups are a perfect solution – quick, satisfying, and nutritious. Use the whole squash for this soup, since its seeds are quite soft, and the peel contains many nutrients you cells will appreciate.

 

Spicy and Sweet Cabbage Salad

Spicy citrus dressing combined with summer vegetables makes it more than just a salad: it makes it an experience.  Light and refreshing, it’s also quick to make, especially if you can delegate the chore of chopping to your food processor.

 

Lentil Patties with Cucumber Dill Sauce

These two recipes are rather versatile. Try crackers or “meat” balls instead of patties. Use the sauce as a salad dressing, dip for crackers and crudités, or as a sauce for lettuce wraps.

 

Strawberry Salsa Salad

Adding strawberries to the traditional salsa recipe creates a mellow yet tangy delightful dish that can be served with crackers or as a salad.

 

Cilantro Pesto

Serve this versatile pesto with dehydrated crackers, slices of cucumber, zucchini, carrot sticks and celery stalks, or use as a sauce for zucchini spaghetti.

 

Fennel ‘n Greens Juice

A wrinkle – smoothing, alkalizing, mostly green morning juice.

 

Festive Tomatillos and Daikon Salsa

Spicy and sweet blend well in this crunchy salsa.

 

Carrot Falafel Wraps with Sweet Tahini Dressing

These wraps come together in a matter of minutes, and these falafel won’t weigh you down and make you feel awful.

 

Citrus Coconut Smoothie

Silky, smooth, green, and simply delicious.
