Looking for...

I'm transitioning to raw. One of the ways I'm trying to get more veggies in is to make spring rolls (it's basically a rice paper wrapping that is soaked in water and then filled with veggies and rolled - no frying or anything like that).

I was thinking it would be tasty to dip it into something but I know soy sauce isn't the best idea and I LOVE peanut sauce but it isnt raw. I am not very familiar with sprouting and most dips I come across require some form of sprouting.

Any suggestion for an easy dip that would be good with raw veggies that doesn't require sprouting?

Thanks,
Zoë

i am a "dipper" too.

i have been dipping my wraps in braggs. i made an asian dressing last nite that was out of this world on my salad and with my wrap:

chunk of ginger
1 carrot
apple cider vinegar
water
olive oil
sesame oil
2 garlic cloves
sea salt
pepper

blend until smooth.

Oh that sound tasty! Thanks!

I really want peanut sauce but know it's a no-no. I try to stay away from braggs (I heard it isn't very good for you). I miss creamy dips. If you come across any other ones, let me know! ;) And I'll do the same!

Thanks!!!

definately. i think you can substitute nama shoyu for the braggs.

Have you ever used dulse flakes? I keep seeing it in recipes. I'm pretty sure it's a sea vege (like kelp, etc).

I also found this special hummus one that might work as a dip

2 cups peled zucchini, chopped
4 tbs. olive oil
1 and 1/2 lemon, juice of
3/4 cup seasame seeds (hulled)
3/4 tsp. sea salt
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp. papika

blend it all in food processor :)

i think i found it on the new site you gave me. it seems like it could be a good base, and then you could add other spices to change it up.

I may try it this weekend, will let u know!

oooh that looks good too!! i believe dulse flakes can be used as a salt substitute. i have seen them at the store but keep passing them up. i would prob use my sea salt and be done.

What about a tahini dip? It's not asian, but I use it as a dressing for salads sometimes. Basically I mix raw tahini with some lemon juice and water. But you could add seasonings. It's a little bland. I suggest you might want to play with it and dress it up a little.

You can make a "peanut" sauce by using almond butter instead of peanut butter, with whatever thai seasonings you like (I'd recommend nama shoyu, ginger, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaf, chilies, coconut....)

that sounds really good. could you baby step me and estimate measurements??? i bought tahini last week and it is still sitting there....staring at me. i did not care for it plain.
