The other day, one of my roommates offered to give me some black salt since she had a bunch of it. If you're not familiar, black salt smells and tastes like eggs. Ironically enough, the salt was actually pink...anyway, I was thinking.."what can I make raw that would be like eggs?"
The first thing that popped into my mind was egg salad so off to the Google I went! I immediately found a recipe that caught my attention at https://www.soulintheraw.com/raw-vegan-egg-salad/
I already had a lot of the ingredients I needed, which is always a win! I whipped up this meal in a hurry before I left to work and didn't have time to take photos. This meal tasted so delicious that I made it again the next day, but double the amount! My husband loved it, my roommates loved it and even my co-workers at the Vegan restaurant loved it!
This time I was able to take my time and photograph the process :)
So the first step is to make cauliflower rice. I recently experienced cauliflower rice for the first time and I am so happy! I grew up eating rice and beans, so rice is one of the foods I've really missed since eating raw for the past month. And it is the easiest thing ever to make!
Cauliflower helps prevent cancer, heart disease and brain disorders. It also is rich in Vitamins C and K, reduces inflammation, helps with digestion and much more!
Simply put a head of cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until you have small, fluffy rice like pieces. Make sure not to go too overboard or you'll have something more like mashed cauliflower.
Next I diced up some a refreshingly delicious cucumber.
Cucumbers help you stay hydrated, reduces risk of cancer, helps with digestion, cures diabetes and a lot more!
Next I diced up some sweet onion.
Sweet onions are rich in Vitamins B and C, contain iron, fiber, potassium and more!
The recipe calls for dill. I went for dill pickles because that's what I could find at the store and they did not disappoint!
Dill pickles help with gut health, hydration, muscle cramps and much more.
Next I cut up a few avocados since I had the teeny baby ones and I LOVE avocados!
Avocados are not only delicious but loaded with fiber and potassium, help lower cholesterol and much more!
The recipe called for 2-3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. I can never have too much nooch, so I loaded it on there!
*Nutritional yeast has a cheesy flavor and is loaded with vitamin B, protein, fiber and more! *
I mixed all of these together with some black salt and dinner was served!! We've been eating this throughout the week and have not gotten tired of it yet! Enjoy :)
