"Taco Meat" Salad

Raw Vegan "Taco Meat" Salad.

NOM.

>For salads I literally throw every vegetable you can think of in there:

Romaine lettuce
Spinach
Celery
Cucumber
Mushrooms
Shredded Carrots
LOTS of Tomatoes
Radishes 
Broccoli (I like to blanch mine for 1 minute)
Kalamata olives (in the jar)
Red/green bell pepper
Red onion 
Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 avocado
Sunflower Seeds
Hemp seeds
Raisins
Sun Dried Tomatoes

I think thats it?! LOL it varies, whatever you have is good though so long as its a lot of salad.

>For the cauliflower rice as pictured:

A head of cauliflower
1/2 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsps cilantro
Wee bit of flax oil

Pulse in a food processor until you get the snow like consistency. 

>For the "taco meat":

1 cup of walnuts
2 tsps of Flax oil
10 sundried tomatoes (soaked in water for a few hours, at least one hour)
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or more to taste but try that first)
a sprinkle of salt!

pulse until it looks meaty!

>For a dressing:

3/4 cup cashews
1/3 cup water 
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon
1 garlic clove
1/8 of an onion 
1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
sprinkle of salt
lots of black pepper

Blend until creamy. I usually use 2 tbsps on a large salad.

Hope you like!
