Raw Taco Salad

Man I just keep getting laaaazier and laaaaaazier with photographs lately. I guess it's because it's difficult to get excited about raw foods.

I've been perusing a lot of raw food blogs, and the photography is just stellar. Everything about the diet sounds so healthful, and conscious, and like a perfectly decent way to live and prepare fresh, whole foods.

But it's not for everyone! Simple as that, I guess. Whereas I am excited that my new journey into these types of foods allow me to be able to introduce raw meals into my diet, I am MORE excited knowing that at some point soon I will get to eat a FRIED EGG!!!

That said, I was pleasantly surprised with this taco salad. The other week I made tacos that featured this very raw corn salsa, and it was a hit. So I decided to whip that up agian. It consists of:

~raw corn!
~diced tomatoes!
~juice of a couple limes!
~lots of fresh cilantro!
~cucumber!
~avocado!
~S&P!

I bet garlic would be good too. But I knew I'd be adding it to the "meat" so I held off.

The "meat" consists of walnuts and cauliflower. That's it! Oh, and maybe a little bit of olive oil and some Mexican spices (cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder).

The "sour cream" consists of cashews, lemon juice, water, and apple cider vinegar.

It's hard to replace meat and cheese. But I didn't feel guilty downing two bowls of this...so that's a plus ;-)
