5-Minute Raw Slaw Sandwich

Yummerlicious
Need an idea for using up random veggies in your produce drawer? You could play around with this recipe. I was going to make a whole batch of basic red pepper hummus for lunch today, but in an attempt to use up some veggie odds and ends, I threw in the last piece of a cut zucchini and just pulsed in the food processor until I had a chunky, colorful spread! It can definitely be chopped chunkier with a knife instead. This recipe is for one sandwich serving (or multiple flax crackers).

Chunky Veggie Spread:
1/4 Red Pepper
1/4 Medium Zucchini
1/4 Garlic Clove
1/2 Tsp Tahini
Dash of Cumin
Pinch of Salt

Festive and delicious, red, green & white with a little kick for your taste buds! I topped mine with sprouted quinoa and baby beet greens (thinnings from my garden), mache lettuce cuttings and dill. Experiment! Great on raw, dehydrated bread, regular bread, pita, crackers etc. etc.

Ani Phyo's Red Pepper "Hummus" Bean Free

I love savory dips and spreads. This is my take on Ani Phyo's Red Pepper Hummus from her new book Raw Food Essentials:

1 Red Pepper chopped
1/4 cup sesame seeds (ground first into a powder is best)
1 1/2-2 Tbs Tahini
1 clove garlic
pinch of parsley or 1 tsp chopped cilantro

Ani Phyo adds lemon and cumin-and her proportions are different, also omit parsley/cilantro. You can get creative here. I've always loved zucchini hummus, but red pepper hummus was an awesome surprise! Delicious, healthy and perfect for sandwiches, chips or veggies!

It is 8 degrees here, so it's warming up. However, the wind chill is 25 below! Forecast to be 35 below from tonight on through 2 days! So, sadly, I'll be hitting the treadmill. Yesterday, I reluctantly called a 2nd rest day because of the weather, and it's only getting colder and windier. The air is so cold to breathe, you get nose bleeds and man does it hurt! So, treadmill, here I come.
