This was so good I wanted to share the recipe with you. I reluctantly shared the dish with my husband. He RAVED about it. Finally, another raw dish he will eat! Next time I'll make more. :)

Cashew "Mock Chicken" Salad
This is really delicious stuffed in a large tomato or avocado.
Serves 4-6

I cut some of the ingredients in half, they are listed in red. Also, allowing a couple hours to let the flavors meld made a huge difference in how much I liked this dish.

Ingredients:
1/4 C sunflower seeds (2 Tablespoons)
1 C cashews (1/2 cup)
1 C of pecans (1/2 cup)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
2 green onions, cut into smaller pieces
1/2 sweet apple (1 whole golden delicious apple)
1 celery stick, cut into chunks
1 tsp. dried dill (1/2 tsp.)
1/4 tsp. curry powder (1/8 tsp.)
juice of 1/2 a lemon

Preparation:
Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse chop until everything is chopped medium to fine. Cover and put in the fridge for a couple hours to allow the flavors to meld. Just before serving add 1 small chopped avocado, stir gently. Serve in a hollowed out sweet pepper, tomato, or the avocado shell.

Dag burn it! Shouldn't have looked at this - I'm fasting, but I've printed it to try when I'm not. Thanks for sharing!

LOL! I totally agree. This was my last dish before I modify my eating to prepare for a juice/smoothie fast. I might have started a day earlier than planned if I hadn't seen this recipe. :)

I've whipped this up (with a few minor changes) for dinner tonight... and I blogged about it already!
Basically, I had to add more seasoning, and used brazil nuts instead of pecans. It's good. :)

I just made this recipe this weekend and actually just ate some rolled up in a leaf of lettuce for lunch here at work.

It is really really good. If I were not at work I would have licked the plate. :o

Can't wait to try it!!!!!!! I'm especially glad to see this recipe because my husband has been eating more raw with me lately...it's good to find "meat" type things for him.
