Stuffed cucumbers with Neptune Salad


Stuffed cucumbers with Neptune Salad
Ingredients
meat from 2 young coconuts, cut into small pieces
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 carrot, shredded
¼ cup black olives, chopped
1 tablespoon yellow or white onion, finely diced
½ dill pickle, finely diced
¼ cup Neptune Cashew creme
sea salt, to taste

To make the Neptune salad mix all ingredients, except cucumbers together in a bowl. Chill at least four hours, overnight is best.
With a vegetable peeler, create stripes on the outside of the cucumbers, leaving every other section intact.
Cut off ends of cucumber and slice into 1- 1 1/2-inch rounds. With a 1/2 teaspoon spoon, scoop out the seeds and inner flesh of each cucumber. Do not scoop all the way through.

Fill cucumbers with Neptune salad.

Ingredients
1 c. cashews, soaked
2 tablespoons dried seaweed, ground
1 c. water
juice of one lemon
1 t. sea salt, add more if desired

Blend cashews, seaweed, sea salt and lemon juice, stream water in a bit at a time until smooth.

This sounds like a perfect recipe to introduce some family members to the delicious wonderful world of raw at our Christmas dinner; I can't wait to try it out on my friends at work, either.

It is a great recipe. I used it for an office party once. It was a big hit. The recipe for the Neptune cashew creme is at the bottom of the recipe.

That recipe sounds so good! I'm getting into seaweeds these days. But, like you, I am unable to find any young coconuts her in the frozen north.

That does sound great snow; I'd take the olives out and the rest would be good to go for me. Thanks for posting. The stuff you create is always inspiring. I can't wait for you to come out with that cookbook. It always amazes me at how much freedom we have with raw. The sky really is the limit. I keep it simple these days but that's for budgeting purposes. But gosh, when I'm ready to be creative and think outside the box, I have so many wonderful options.... I think my sister and I will try this next month. She's doing a 30 day raw challenge.
