This recipe was provided by my good friend and vegan chef, Marilyn Peterson from her book VEGAN BITE BY BITE (www.veganbitebybite.com). Kamaal and I spent some time cooking with Marilyn and learning how to prepare raw foods. This is one of her transition recipes and it’s great! We love it because it’s delicious, it’s easy, and it’s cheap!
