Recipe: Raw Pasta Primavera Diary Free, Gluten Free, Grain
Free Super Easy & Delicious 10-18-08

This week, I'm sharing with you one of my Healthy, savory creations.
In fact, this dish is my current favorite; we've been enjoying it almost weekly
for the last little while. I love how easy it is to prepare, and that it
requires no dehydration. Perfect for those times when it's nearly lunch or
dinner and you still haven't got a 'plan'.
So simple and really yummy!
Ingredients ( All Should be Organic):
Wide zucchini noodles (just use the veg peeler)
Fresh garden peas
Chopped red pepper
Small chopped carrot
Baby tomatoes, halved
Fresh shredded basil
Fresh chopped parsley
Lemon zest Alfredo Sauce
¾ cup ionized water
½ tsp raw local honey
1 clove garlic
¼-1/3 cup lemon juice or 5 drops Lemon Essential Oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 ¼ cup cashews
Blend all ingredients until smooth.
or use this Ranch Dressing

Here's one delectable and totally addictive recipe! I've even served it to
non-rawfoodies and they agreed it was THE best dressing they had ever tasted!
I also love how versatile it is. Drizzle it on salads or zucchini pasta, use it
as a spread on your favorite bread or simply as a dip. Delish, any way you have
it!
For those missing that hidden valley feeling.
