Awesome Raw "Tuna Salad"

[HuggaBuggaMommy]

Oh my goodness... I was skeptical as I was making this, but it's sooo good. The "tuna" is leftover carrot pulp from juicing carrots, and it has almost the exact texture of tuna. I juiced about 4 carrots, and mixed the pulp with celery and scallions and a little salt and pepper. And here's the mayo recipe:

Adapted from Gone Raw.com
Ingredients
½ cup soaked almonds
½ cup purified water
½ lemon, juiced
¾ tablespoon agave nectar
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon mustard (dry or wet)
½ cup olive oil

Put all the ingredients except the olive oil in a heavy duty blender. Puree the ingredients until very smooth. With blender still in motion, slowly pour a thin stream of olive oil through the opening in your blender's cover. Continue to puree until you reach the right consistency. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.

I didn't use that much oil, and I poured it on the tuna a bit runny, but it didn't matter. Someone in the recipe reviews said the mayo will thicken if refrigerated. I couldn't be bothered to wait, just wrapped the tuna in lettuce and spinach leaves. Delicious!

That sounds yummy! If I didn't already have three raw "meals" going at once already, I'd make it! Maybe Monday...

(I'm soaking sunflowers for taco meat, dehydrating corn chips, and I have one sunburger w/notcho cheese for lunch...)

I'm dehydrating nacho chips, too - so I can try your nacho cheese recipe!

It's very good. Even my mother - who scoffs at anything *healthy* - said to me after I made her taste it, "Do you have mayo on that stuff?"
