Vegan Raw Zucchini Taco With Three Nutrient-Loaded Salsas

AUGUST 14, 2020

A Creation Adapted From Matthew Kinney - The Master Of Plant-Food Cuisine

To be very fair with you from the beginning, this dish isn't a quick 30 minute meal. However it is beyond delicious, super satisfying and if you don't have all of your friends over when you prep it, it will last for days (and then it actually becomes a "less than 10 minute to prep kind of meal"). So it's your choice how to enjoy it. The only thing you should keep in mind is the prepping time of three salsas, one oil plus decoration. 

I came up with the idea of this plant-based amazing veggie raw taco dish after my last culinary class with Matthew Kinney - the master of plant-food cuisine. His vegan, raw lasagne was so tasty that I had to recreate it in my own way. I hope you enjoy! I couldn't be happier with this delicious plant-based, vegan & raw creation.

What You Need To Make These Deliciously Wholesome Vegan Raw Zucchini Tacos With Three Nutrient-Loaded Salsas

Well, besides planning a good amount of time to prep all the salsas, you should also prep for the meal budget. As the dish contains tons of pistachios, at least 5 bushes of basil, macadamias, cashews, sun-dried tomatoes and loads of extra virgin olive oil, it is definitely not the cheapest. Though, it is a very unique, super delicious and actually really raw and healthy combo. I ate the mix for days - topped on a wholegrain sliced of bread, with pasta and the German & vegan version of a French Crepe. :)

- Pistachios, Macadamias, Cashews: All of the nuts I used were from 1001Frucht.de as I love their amazing quality. 

- Microgreens: Homemade. If you want to become a Apartment Farmer yourself, read this.

- All fresh ingredients are from local Farmer's Market including the round zucchini.
