As promised from yesterday, here is another great raw food recipe for you! (Note..we haven’t done the pesto, yet). This is a very quick and delicious way to use the Basil Walnut-Cashew spread from yesterday and turn it into a refreshing, satisfying dinner tonight! A little additional Basil Oil, and some filtered water thins the spread into a sauce. Chop up some veggies and you are good to go. Dinner in under 5 minutes!
Basil Veggie Primavera
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Basil Walnut-Cashew Spread
- 1/4 cup filtered water
- 2 tablespoons Basil Oil
1. Whisk water and basil oil into Basil Walnut-Cashew Spread
Primavera:
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup zucchini
- 1 cup yellow squash
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Basil Walnut-Cashew Spread
1. Chop carrots, zucchini and yellow squash into bite-sized pieces.
2. Stir in tomatoes.
3. Top with sauce and mix to coat.
4. Optional, top with chiffonade basil (thinly sliced), Himalayan sea salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 2-3 (can easily be doubled)
*Chef’s note: this sauce has a brownish tinge to it from the walnuts. If you want a white sauce, replace the walnuts with more cashews. But they are so darn healthy, I would use them!

Yum! This looks absolutely amazing!
This looks stunning! I think I might serve this dish when the parents come over for dinner
Thank you for sharing.
Superior tihinnkg demonstrated above. Thanks!
I have a nut allergy, what other sauces would go well with this?
You could possibly do a raw tomato marinara sauce but then it would be a completely different recipe…
