Raw Vegan Scrumptious Sushi

                       Are you ready for this delectable dish? 

     A while back I found out how to create some seriously tasty raw vegan sushi. These will have your friends and family screaming for more.

First you will need jicama.  Jicamas are also known as the Mexican yam. 

Peel and chop up 3-4 and put into a large bowl.

Put the shredding blade on your food processor and shred all of the jicama.

Optional: You can place the shredded jicama on a large cutting board and chop even finer to further simulate the look of rice.

It would look like this.

You will need organic nori that is unroasted.

Slice very thinly whatever vegetables you want to be in your sushi. My favorites are the ones shown: cucumber, celery, carrot, and avocado. I find that avocado is essential to give a creamy flavor.

Place the jicama on top of a nori sheet and place the vegetables horizontally across.

Roll up like a giant burrito and slice as thinly or as thick as you like.

VOILA! 

Since these are completely healthy, feel free to eat as many as you'd like!
