Raw vegan tacos

Raw vegan tacos

I'm so happy I was able to throw these together with ingredients I had at home this evening!! There's nothing better than not having to do a run to the shops when you're in an experimenting mood. I'm also so excited because I got to pick out so many things from the garden which is blooming right now due to this amazing weather- kale, spring onions, basil, mint & chives.

We haven't posted in so long- sorry!! I also apologise that these don't look like the rest of the other pretty looking raw vegan tacos out there in there internet world but never the less, I bring you the throw-it-all-together (messy) raw vegan tacos!!



Made up of:

*Kale
*Tomato, onion, chive salsa
*Walnut "mince"
*Cashew "sour cream"
*Large lettuce cups/leaves

and if you want to add:

*brown rice (obviously not raw but such an amazing addition!)
*avocado


Walnut "Mince"
1 cup of raw almonds
2 tbs tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp paprika
pinch of chilli flakes

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until it has a mincey looking texture. This won't take long, making sure you don't over blend it otherwise it will turn to paste.


Cashew "sour cream"
1 cup raw cashews (soaked for two hours)
pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Juice of one lemon
5 tablespoons of water

Place all ingredients into a blender until it becomes a smooth and creamy consistency, this should take a couple of minutes

Salsa
Dice up whatever you have got! Salsa doesn't need to be complicated. I used chives, basil, garlic, olive oil, red onion, tomatoes and spring onion and mixed it with kale.

Things that work well in salsa:

*capsicum
*kale
*avocado
*spring onion, red onion, onion
*mint, basil, chives
*any type of tomatoes 
*chick peas
*garlic
*sea salt
*olive oil

Throw it all together into your lettuce cup & enjoy!
