Quick & Easy Raw Recipe

By Monique Sharp

I just came up with an easy & quick raw recipe after completing the Master Cleanse aka Lemonade Diet. Which I have to say has done wonders for me. I am guilty of being a starchitarian and gained weight which caused my back to ache horrificly every morning when I get out of bed. After the cleanse, I noticed I do not have any back pain and unnecessary weight just dropped off of me.

I am so thrilled that my back is not hurting. Now, I have to maintain by continuing to consume more raw foods than cooked starchy foods to have a balance. Also, for the New Year maintain an exercise regimen.

This recipe I made is a two in one shot. I am able to have a drink and a meal in one step. The recipe is called Carrot Parsnip Tuna Wrap with Tahini Dressing:

Ingredients:

1 lb. organic carrots(skin peeled)
1/2 lb. organic parsnips(skin peeled)
1 Stalk of Celery, diced
1 Tbl. dulse/kelp
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper(optional)
pinch S&P to taste
1 lemon, freshly squeezed
Nori wraps
Avocado slices
2-4 thin slices of 1 cucumber
sprouts(optional)

Tahini Dressing:

1/2 cup raw Tahini
1 lemon, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbl. Tamari sauce
Mix all ingredients well with a spoon until smooth and creamy.

In a juicer, add carrots and parsnips and juice. Remove pulp and place in a small mixing bowl. Add celery,dulse/kelp,garlic,cayenne, lemon juice and s&p and mix. Add 1-2 tablespoons of carrot/parsnip juice to mixure for moisture.

Take one sheet of nori, slice into 4 squares. Take 1 square and place a scoopof carrot tuna on sheet and spread. Add cucumber slices, avocado slices and sprouts. Roll nori and repeat the process. Dip rolls into Tahini dressing and enjoy.
