Vegan Recipes: 10 Ingredients or Less

Raw Vegan Taco Salad

Raw Vegan Taco Salad
Burrito bowls, burritos, nachos, and salads are some of my favorite vegan recipes to make. I just finished my 21 Day Vegan Challenge group, and during the last week of the group I ate only a raw vegan diet. I felt really great, and I decided to start incorporating more raw meals into my week. I had decided to make taco salad for dinner, so I made a raw version and another version with tofu as well. Normally I make walnut meat, but I was out of walnuts. So, I improvised and hoped for the best. I used cashews instead, and I am so glad that I did! I will probably use cashews for this recipe from now on. The sweetness of the cashews combined with the seasoning that I used made the salad extraordinary. 
Cashew Meat
I don't know why I didn't think of making cashew meat before now! Sometime the best recipes happen accidentally. Occasionally I have a bunch of ingredients to put together, and I think it's going to make the best recipe...and it doesn't happen. I don't do that often, but sometimes what I think is great in my head doesn't translate as greatness to my taste buds with the finished product. Trial and error. Anyway, if you like cashews I think you will be pleased with this recipe.
