In a food processor, process:
2cloves garlic (2 cloves leaves makes for a pungent pate; some may prefer 1 clove)
1Tbs dulse flakes or 1/4cup dulse (dulse is a sea vegetable)
Then add:
2cups sunflower seeds
4Tbs. lemon juice
1/2cup water, as needed
process until it makes a thick, creamy mix. Remove from processor and place in mixing bowl.
Then add:
1 grated carrot
chopped fresh parsley as desired
1 slice yellow onion finely chopped
black pepper and salt to taste
1 stalk chopped celery

Makes 4-6 servings; will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Makes delicious sandwiches and wraps, just add a little Nayonaise or veganaise!

This one is easy and superbly delicious, with all the benefits of raw kale (which is otherwise usually unpallatable).

Cut kale into thin strips, as for cole slaw, about 1/2 inch wide. Use however much you deem necessary (I tend to prefer to use Lacianato kale, which is a very dark green, tear drop shaped, flat leaf).
Dress with Toasted Sesame Vinagrette and let marinade for at least an hour.

The raw kale has a bit of spice, but a dash of cayene pepper or chilli powder is also nice.

Finely chop 1 small head of cabbage

Dressing:
1/4c. milk
3/2c. mayonaise
1/8cup sugar
1T. cider vinegar
1/2t. salt
dash of pepper

Stir in just enough dressing to moisten the cabbage.

If desired, add any of:
grated carrots
coarsely chopped onions and peppers
chopped fresh chives, parsley or any other herbs

A wonderful fresh salsa.

In a bowl:
1/2 small red or white onion OR 8 slender scallions, finely chopped
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice OR cold water

In another bowl, combine:
2 large tomatoes OR 3-5 ripe plum tomatoes, finely diced
1/4-1/2 C. fresh cilantro
3-5 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 medium clove garlic, minced

Add above bowl to onion, and season with 1/4 tsp. salt or to taste.

Serve immediately; tomatoes will lose their consistency and pepper will become more spicy the longer this sits.

In a large bowl, mix together:
1 med cabbage (about 1.5 lbs), finely cut
2 large carrots, grated
1/3c. dried apricots, quartered

In a jar, mix together and pour over above ingredients:
1/3c. olive oil
1 tsbs maple syrup
2-3tbs apple cider vinegar
3/4tsp salt, to taste
1/4tsp. allspice, ground
