Mexican Salad Bowl



Obsessed with this delicious and filling vegan mexican salad! You will need:

  • Lettuce (I have used iceburg leaves in one dish and romaine in the other)
  • Chickpeas
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Cumin
  • Lemon/ lime
  • Guacamole (preferably homemade)
  • Sweetcorn
  • Salsa (preferably homemade or a store bought one WITHOUT additives)
Mix the chickpeas with as much cumin, cayenne pepper and lemon/lime as you desire.
I've used raw corn but you can use a canned one ( but check for additives, added sugar, salt etc) if you want.
Salsa- chop onion (red works best although I had none at home when i made this), jalepeno, parlsey, and tomato. Olive oil and salt can be added(optional)
Guacamole- 1 mashed avocado, lemon juice, garlic (optional).

It's so easy and so delicious, I hope you try and enjoy it!

Pesto Zucchini Spaghetti



This rawesome dish is so easy and delicious.

For the pesto, you will need...

Serves 4 OR 2 generous portions
-100g pinenuts
-2 clove of garlic (i love garlic so you might want to use less if you're not a fan)
-Nutritional yeast
-1 pot of basil (just use the leaves)

What to do...

-Start by processing your pinenuts in a food processor. Leave it processing, so that it's natural oils release, and it becomes lovely and creamy.
-Then add your basil, garlic and nutritional yeast and process untill it's a smooth pesto.
-Peel your zucchini and place in a bowl, and mix with the pesto.
-Add black olives and cherry tomatoes.
-I leave it to marinade over night, so the zucchini softens and absorbs all the delicious flavours.
-Eat raw or warm if you want.

Bon appetit!
