Eggless Salad

And you thought eating raw vegan meant you had to give up egg salad - not anymore!  This is a great replacement for traditional egg salad, without the use of animal protein.  It has the same look & feel of traditional egg salad & is very filling & satisfying.

1 1/2 C almonds
1/2 C water
2 T apple cider vinegar
1-2 tsp turmeric (or more, for  more intense yellow color)
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Himalayan or Celtic sea salt
2 cloves garlic
1 T raw honey (or 2 dates)

3 stalks celery, minced
1/2 lg. red bell pepper, minced
1/2-1 C young Thai coconut meat, diced
spinach
sprouts
paprika

Soak almonds in fresh water at least 8-12 hours.  Rinse and drain well.  Add almonds, water, vinegar, turmeric, mustard, pepper, salt, garlic and honey to food processor fitted with the "S" blade.  (If using dates instead of honey, soak them in water at least 10-20 minutes first to soften.)  Process until smooth (you will probably need to scrape the bowl down several times during the process).

Add mixture to a bowl & stir in diced celery, red pepper & coconut meat.  Place on a bed of spinach.  Garnish with sprouts & sprinkle with paprika.  Enjoy!
