Raw Vegan Sandwiches with Dill Walnut Filling

Here’s a quick raw vegan sandwich recipe that seems ideal for a fast lunch or served as an appetizer at a party. The dill walnut filling also includes corn, scallions and cucumbers. Such a delicious treat, and they only take a few minutes to prepare!

INGREDIENTS: Exterior:

2 beets

1 cucumber

Filling:

1 cup raw walnuts, soaked

¼ cup raw corn off the cob

1/8 cup young coconut milk

1/8 cup raw young coconut meat

2 tblsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup green onions, chopped finely

1 tblsp fresh dill weed

Dash Himalayan pink or sea salt

Dash black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slice the beets and half of the cucumber into thin rounds with a knife, a food processor using the slicing disc or a mandoline.

2. Chop the rest of the cucumber into very small squares and set aside.

3. Place the nuts, coconut water, coconut meat and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until fairly smooth and use a spatula to place it in a medium-sized bowl.

4. Stir in the green onions, corn, chopped cucumber and the dill. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Arrange the beet and cucumber slices on a flat surface or serving plate. Place a layer of the filling on top, then another slice, then another layer of filling, then a final slice to make a triple deck sandwich.

6. You can also just place a teaspoon of the filling on top of a beet or cucumber slice and serve with a tomato slice or other garnish.

7. Serve fresh.
