These “tacos” are easy to make, and they don’t take very much time to put together. They’re pretty versatile, so if you don’t have an ingredient, such as one of the spices, they’ll still be delicious. The different components can be made ahead of time and put together in the evening, so they’re a perfect meal for a busy weeknight, and since they don’t require any heat to cook. Enjoy them with tortilla chips, cut vegetables, or with a salad.

Vegan Parmesan Cheese
These Vegan Parmesan Cheese tastes exactly like parmesan cheese BUT…even better!
Vegan Cashew Sour Cream
Sour cream is a bit of a divisive sauce. You either love it or…you don’t. Well, if you do, then this recipe is for you! It’s raw, it’s vegan, it’s sour cream! A little apple cider vinegar, a little lemon, and a healthy dose of spices, it’s a flavorful dip!
Watermelon, Cucumber & Almond Feta Salad
A delicious, refreshing salad, tied together with some yummy raw vegan feta! The squishy tanginess of feta is a nice addition to a light lunch salad, and with almond feta you don’t have to worry about taking some poor goat’s milk!
NOTE: the almond feta should be prepared one day in advance to give it time to set.

Mushroom Burgers with Avocado Mayo

Jicama Garlic Chili Cheese Fries
It’s Monday, and Mondays call for simple, rewarding recipes. What better way to deal with Monday than with some spicy, garlic-y chili cheese fries? Raw and vegan, of course! Move over potatoes, there’s a new fry in town, and its name is jicama.
These certainly aren’t your every day fries (after all, they aren’t even fried). But they certainly do the job well. The jicama takes the place of potatoes, while nutritional yeast takes over for cheese. Of course, you can adjust the spices and herbs to your heart’s content, making it more or less spicy as is your discretion.
Great for snacking and for sharing. And, unlike conventional fries, these chili cheese fries will actually nourish you, rather than punish you!
Turmeric Salad Dressing
Turmeric is a wonderful spice: a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, brilliant color, and delightful taste. Just lovely. It makes a great key player in a salad dressing for all those reasons! Your salad will be beautiful, and with all the wonderful nutrients you’ll be getting, from this turmeric dressing, so will you! You can store it in your fridge for a few days and enjoy this superfood salad dressing again.
Onion Rings with Chipotle Aoili
Onion rings might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of nourishing raw foods. But that’s precisely what makes this incredible raw recipe so amazing! There’s raw pizza, raw burgers, so how could we not have some raw onion rings, too? With all the raw food creativity out there, there’s no limit to what can be done with wholesome, nutritious raw foods!
Spicy Garlic Zucchini Chips
Sometimes you just feel like something crispy and savory. These zucchini chips will satisfy your need for a crunchy snack, but without any of the fats and super-saltiness of your regular potato chips. It only takes a few minutes to whip these chips up, so they make for easy as well as great snacking. There’s no reason why munchies can’t be healthy!
Buffalo Cauliflower Wings With Avo Ranch Sauce
Did you know that eating spicy food might just be really good for you? As if we needed another reason to feel the burn!
Cauliflower may not have wings, but neither does a buffalo. You don’t need to eat a chicken if you’re looking to get your spice on. All you need is some crispy cauliflower, a handful of spices, and a tall glass of water (just in case!).
As any spice junky can tell you, no buffalo “wing” is complete without an equally tasty dip. And since we’re talking buffalo, it might as well be a ranch dip! Creamy and tangy with avocado and lemon, it provides a great contrast to the hot hot heat of the cauliflower.
These buffalo “wings” are a great party snack. If you’ve got a few friends coming round, you can easily scale the recipe up.
Raw Vegan Chorizo Lettuce Tacos
If you were setting out to make a raw vegan meal of some sort, chorizo tacos might seem to be just about the least likely candidate you could find, aside maybe from haggis. But these tacos go beyond any mere imitation of meat! These yummy nummies are overflowing with rich, spicy flavor which stands on its own feet. It’s not your grandmother’s chorizo!
Lettuce makes for a surprisingly awesome shell for tacos. Often used in South Asian cuisine for wraps, it’s an interesting sort of fusion to see them here in chorizo tacos. And speaking of that chorizo, it’s amazing what you can do with nuts and some spices!
