Good raw food recipes anyone?

I want to try and incorporate more raw food into my eating. Does anyone know any good raw recipes that you have tried or heard of? Any websites would be helpful also! Thanks so much!Good raw food recipes anyone?
Cucumber and Avocado Sushi





* 1 1/4 cups water


* 1 cup uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)


* 3 tablespoons rice vinegar


* 1 pinch salt


* 4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)


* 1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin strips


* 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced





1. Combine the water and rice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool.


2. Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap to keep the rice from sticking. Place a sheet of seaweed over the plastic. Use your hands to spread the rice evenly onto the sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of seaweed empty at the bottom. Arrange strips of cucumber and avocado across the center of the rice. Lift the mat and roll over the vegetables once and press down. Unroll, then roll again towards the exposed end of the seaweed sheet to make a long roll. You may moisten with a little water to help seal. Set aside and continue with remaining nori sheets, rice and fillings.


3. Use a sharp wet knife to slice the rolls into 5 or 6 slices. Serve cut side up with your favorite sushi condiments.Good raw food recipes anyone?
Okay I will check back and see, and if I don't know I will delete my answer, don't worry this is not for point gaming.





What do you mean by raw? As in fruits and veggies? Or grains? Or uncooked, healthy cereals mixed with other stuff like fruits and veggies?





Please, I will come back and check.





Just checked again after something reminded me of it. Okay, grains are good. There are plenty of grains besides wheat that are pretty healthy. I have a website about it. I, personally, love dried cherries, so you can put some grains and dried fruits into a bowl of grains. There are a few healthy cereals like cheerios and rice chex that you might like that you can put in a bowl. And there are nuts that are really tasty such as pecans, walnuts, um . . . there might be others that you like, too. Cashews are tasty, even lightly salted cashews. I am allergic so I didn't mention it right away. You could put some of those in. Make sure to only put a little cereal in if you even want to put any cereal in as they are loaded with carbs. I don't have any special mixes to tell you about. Just put in a lot of grains, throw in a little dried or fresh fruit, maybe some carrots or something, a handful or half a handful of cereal, and some nuts. It doesn't always have to be all together. You could go without the nuts or grains or something else.
