Fresh Cucumber Rolls
This is a popular menu item on our summer menu. It is raw, meaning that it is fresh and cooling and has the vibrancy of living, enzyme-rich foods.
Ingredients for rolls
Long English Cucumbers, sliced thinly
Mango or Nectarine, cut into long thin strips
Sunflower Sprouts or Pea Shoots
Fresh Mint, chiffonade (cut into thin strips)
Daikon Radish, cut into long thin sticks
Carrots, cut into long, thin sticks
Method for making rolls:
Sweet Chili Almond Dipping Sauce
3 thai chilies, cut in halved and the seeds scraped out with the edge of a knife
1/4 cup grated ginger
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups almonds, soaked overnight in plenty of water, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup agave syrup
salt to taste
Water to thin
Place all ingredients except water into blender. Blend until smooth. Add enough water to this out to a good but thick dipping sauce. (Should be about the consistency of ketchup). Blend until smooth. This sauce keeps well in the fridge.
