Carrot Salad with Granola and Avocado Mayo Recipe



These are separate recipes; Carrot salad and also the granola I make to snack on during the week. Warning: I don't have measurements for this recipe. It depends on our appetite at the time. I know once you try this you will make bigger batches.
Lets start with the granola.

Granola
Get any container and start layering these ingredients.
Pumpkin seeds
Sunflower seeds
Chia seeds
Hemp seeds
Coconut
Dried pineapple
Raisins
Almonds
Cashews
Walnuts
Raw Chocolate nibs

You can go to Bon Terra for the hemp seeds and get the non-dairy mayonnaise called Nayonaise or Nasoya here also. Go to Nutsonline.com for the chia seeds and raw chocolate nibs and the Indian market called DJs on NJ Ave in Absecon for nuts that are raw and reasonable. Don't forget Santori's and M&S on the Black Horse Pike.

Now put that in a container

I get nice Organic carrots from BJ's wholesale club.
You can put them in the processor to shred. Any amount that suits your family.

Now add the Nayonaise and granola. I make big batches as it is a sweet, protein filled meal.

If Nayonaise bothers you because it is not raw you can make your own mayo out of avocado.

Avocado Mayo


Blend 1 small avocado
1/2 c rejuvelac or you can use water, tomato juice or carrot juice as a substitute.
1 c of cashews (soaked overnight)
1 Tbsp honey or stevia or agave

It should have a mayo consistency.
It makes about 1.5 cups.
