I've never heard of making raw food with mesquite before, and I've never heard of lucuma before now! Thanks for opening my eyes a bit wider! Your salad looks and sounds fabulous as well!O-Town Aerial Botany Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410212779686807861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254641013573970732.post-49981301571781252412008-01-20T10:58:00.000-08:002008-01-20T10:58:00.000-08:00Jenny, I guess you can say I do.

I use them both for different reasons.<BR/><BR/>Splurge sisters, the donuts were a variation of Ani Phyo's donut holes in a previous post. I just used all almonds, kept the dates, substituted golden raisins for the bananas (although her original version calls for dried pineapple), and added lucuma, mesquite and vanilla.<BR/><BR/>They are covered in a 1:1 mixture of Grade B maple syrup and Artisana coconut butter with a touch of vanilla.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed the coating, but I think they would have been more like donuts if I had used my Russian Raw Cakes recipe in my "Ask and You Shall Receive" post. They aren't as chewy and sweet.<BR/><BR/>April, I'm glad to have given you some more salad topping ideas. In a pinch, I also like drizzling a little olive oil with a squeeze of citrus (lemon, lime, orange and/or grapefruit), some sea salt and pepper, and whatever herbs I have on-hand. Herbs give salads such a heightened boast of flavor.shannonmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075659004637137354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254641013573970732.post-83345188818067911082008-01-20T07:52:00.000-08:002008-01-20T07:52:00.000-08:00Love your salad dressings.
