Raw Lettuce Tacos - I demand you try them !!!


Last week, i checked in on the beautiful Ms China Brooks at http://chinabrooks.com/
She made a mouth watering variation to the raw lettuce tacos, with ingredients that were so delicious, her video on youtube made it hard to resist!! and so i prepared, as a luxury lunch. I chose to use sunflower seeds, which are packed with iron, and also soaked almonds.

AWESOME, i just wanted to eat and eat, but after just three, i was so stuffed, pretty shocked? That fullness lasted way past dinner time!! Great staple for my recipe book

Thanks China
