Raw Pad Thai

Ingredients:

–Pad Thai Sauce–
1/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp Almond Butter (Raw)
2 1/2 Tbsp Lime Juice
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1/2 Tbsp Ginger Root
1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
1/4 – 1/2 tsp Red Pepper or Jalopeno (I like spicy, you choose!)
1 1/2 Medjool Dates
1/3 Cup Water
2 Cloves Garlic
1 tsp Turmeric

(I may get messy, but it always results in a yummy result!)

—-For the Noodles and Veggies—
4 Zucchini (Medium)
1/4 – 1/8 Head Cabbage
1 Cup Shredded Carrots
Diced Green Onions
1 Julienned Bell Pepper
Chiffonade Basil and Cilantro

—-Spiced Cashews —
1 Cup Cashews

Undetermined amount of the following spices: (Ginger, Garlic Powder, Maple Syrup, Turmeric, Cayenne, Cumin, and Sea Salt)

Directions:
1) The night before you’d like to make Pad Thai, coat Cashews in a flavorful blend of the mentioned spices, syrup, and sea salt and dehydrate for 8-12 hours on a Teflex Sheet.

These will add a delightful crunch to your Pad Thai!

( Keep in mind, I quadrupled this recipe to make enough, so do what size works for you!)

Directions:
1) Chop the ends off of the zucchini and peel half of them. Spiralize into a bowl. Dice green onions, julienne the red pepper, slice your cabbage, throw in some shredded carrots, and feel free to add in peas to your bowl of vegetables. Chiffonade your Basil and Cilantro and set aside.

2) In a blender, combine all sauce ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
3) Pour your super-tasty sauce over your mound over veggies and carefully either massage into the veggie party or use a spoon/fork to work well-into bowl.

4) Plate a decent sized amount on a small bed of greens, sprinkle your basil and cilantro on top, and finally add some of your spiced Cashews to garnish! (Recipe above). Sprouts make an excellent addition.

Enjoy!
