Grain/Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Caesar Salad (Dairy-Free)

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who said she could live on only eating Caesar salad.  She ate Caesar salad every day for long periods - sometimes months at a time.  One day this girl decided to become a raw vegan and had to say goodbye to her beloved Caesar salad..................or did she?!?!?!?!?!

Grain/Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Caesar Salad (Dairy-Free)
1-2 heads Lettuce of choice (Romaine hearts are standard)
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Splash Coconut Secret Aminos
1/2 large Lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon Brown Mustard
Couple of dashes Himalayan Salt
Couple of dashes Cayenne Pepper
1/3 cup Raw Vegan Parmesan Cheese

Wash lettuce well, spin dry and store in the refrigerator to make the leave crispy while preparing the dressing.  In your salad bowl (I love wood for this), add olive oil and press garlic into the oil.  Add aminos, lime juice, mustard, salt, cayenne.  Blend very well and add Parmesan Cheese. Mix in salad and sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top, if you like.  ENJOY!!

Grain/Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Parmesan-Style Cheese (Dairy-Free)

Cheese is always something missing from the raw food diet - BUT....who knew it could be this easy to make a tasty replacement?!?!?!?  I love sprinkling this on everything I make - I use it liberally over veggies, salads, and when I desire some cooked food, on top of my black bean burgers.  Yummy Yummy!!

1 cup Cashews
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp. Himalayan Salt
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast (not raw and optional)

Add cashews to food processor.  Mash garlic clove into the food processor, add salt and yeast (if using).  Blend until it resembles grated Parmesan, but be careful not to over process and make cashew butter!
