This raw, vegan sushi dish is always a favorite around our house and it’s super easy to make. 

Raw Mock Salmon Rolls

Ingredients:

Nori wraps (found in Asian section of health food store)

1 cup raw walnuts soaked overnight

2 T coconut aminos 

1/2 cup sprouts of choice

1/4-1/2 cup shredded carrots and cucumbers

1 avocado sliced

Sauerkraut or pickled ginger to taste (I use Wildbrine)

Directions:

Combine walnuts and coconut aminos in Vita-mix or food processor and blend well. Warning!! Do not over process or you’ll get walnut butter. Lay nori sheets flat on a plate  

I like these 

Add desired toppings parallel to lines, 

and wrap tightly. If you have a great knife you can make cut rolls, but I usually just roll ’em into hand rolls for simplicity sake. I don’t use any fancy equipment. They look like this before you cut them 

Top with additional coconut aminos, if desired.

Notes:

German for “sour cabbage,” sauerkraut is made by allowing shredded cabbage, salt, and spices to naturally ferment. An excellent source of vitamin c. Look for fresh sauerkraut in the refrigerated section to reap the most probiotic benefits. I prefer the kraut to pickled ginger and it really keeps my digestion in check. This has been very helpful to my family and clients as well. Wildbrine makes a ginger flavored kraut that is perfect for the raw rolls as well!!
