A party dip to impress because it has such a unique and sophisticated flavor! Think curry + hummus, and you have yourself this dip!
Now watch me dip, dip! Watch me nom nom :P
Nothing beats a good, hearty, flavor packed burrito, especially one that is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and plant-power! I decided I would make a simple, high-raw vegan recipe for you all as this is one that I enjoy on a normal basis as a "raw till 4" style dinner.
Unique, flavorful and nutrient dense layers, coming right at ya!
I have been slacking on my greens lately, not going to lie! School has started, and adding this on top of my internship has caused me to have long days, away from the beloved kitchen. It has been lots of bananas, dates and dried figs for me, as these are most convenient for both calories and transportation. I finally had some time yesterday after work to whip up a salad, and this is what I came up with.
The star of this salad is the Tomato Jalapeño vinaigrette I used! It is raw, vegan, oil-free and salt-free! I sweetened it with a medjool date, used water instead of oil, and made sure I used a Raw & Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar.
Where are all my mango lovers at?!
Mango salads, soups, smoothies or just a plain ol' mango mono meal. All are always the best, right?
Atualfo mangoes are always my favorite. For me personally, I love that they are less stringy, that they are creamy dreamy when fully ripe, and that they are almost always the most affordable mangoes in my area. I was inspired by Ellen Fisher to make mango dressings for my salads and I have discovered a new personal favorite.
Yay for vegan ceviche! I love love loved ceviche growing up, and it was actually always so tempting when my mom served it at family gatherings after going vegan. Ceviche is always a staple dish at our summer potlucks in my family, especially at our days by the pool. I honestly have no idea what the reason for this is, as my mom's side of the family is from the Philippines and it is not a dish traditional to their country, but everyone seems to now think of it as one. They make it with crab, fish, and sometimes even salmon. Every auntie of mine has a signature ceviche style that they alternate bringing. but my favorite was my mom's shrimp ceviche.
When I was at the Los Angeles Vegan Potluck a few weeks ago, Shannon had brought a vegan sort of sauerkraut type ceviche made from cauliflower that was really quite delicious. Everyone was guessing that it was made of heart of palm, but the cauliflower addition really blew our minds. From all of the talk of heart of palm ceviche, I started to crave it. Oddly enough, I had never made heart of palm ceviche, or even tried it, but I think my cravings were stemming from my old love for my mom's ceviche. So shortly after the potluck, I got my booty to the market to pick up a jar of Melissa's heart of palm and got ceviche makin'!
