Strawberry deliciousness (is that a real word?)

Raw Strawberry Tart

This is so delicious and so sweet you will love it even if you aren't into eating "RAW"

It doesn't slice up like a real tart but who cares, it is sooo yummy!

You can find the recipe here at Zach Aboard

I added a bit more orange juice in the crust which is probably why it is a lot sticker and I also added a little in the puree at the end, either way it is going to taste ultra delicious.

RAW ZUCCHINI PASTA

Paul and I have been dabbling in a Raw Food diet off and on for the past couple of years but didn't seem to make it past the 75 to 80% line until 6 months ago and now eat 90% raw most of the time.  The benefits of having Green Smoothies and a Raw Diet are awesome although I must say we do slip back into eating cooked evening meals when the weather is cold (we are working on that one).  I really don't think Paul could survive the CRAZY hours he works without it.

I have seen different recipes for "Raw Zucchini Pasta" many a time but just didn't have the inclination to make it until seeing it here the other day.  My preference is for less garlic and a bit more  of a bite to it, so I made some modifications to suit us.

Pesto Sauce
1 cup basil
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2tblspns Pepita Seeds
1 small clove garlic
1/2 chilli
(blend until smooth)

3 med zucchini's
(thinly peel the zuchinni's with a serrated peeler, discarding the outer skin)

Scoop zucchini  into a bowl and top with Pesto Sauce.  I then added chopped sundried tomatoes, chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped avacado, olives and top with a spoon of Salsa Sauce.

We served ours with a salad and Home-made bread (I know it's not raw but it is so delicious).

If you have ever thought of trying a "Raw Food Dish" give this a try as it really is delicious.
