Raw in the dorms

So im not aloud to have a blender, food processor, dehydrater, anything electric really in my dorm room. I was wondering if anyone has some delicious recipes that i may be able to concoct with simply my hands and scrumptious ingredients. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Thank you

    I love Kale salad, like this one: http://goneraw.com/recipes/6-Avocado-Kale-Salad, I also add cumin, agave and dried cranberries.

    It doesn’t suck at all! I have all that equipment and my blender is the only thing I use daily for a breakfast smoothie. Keep it simple, there’s nothing more perfect than a ripe pear or mango. Sometimes people who get bogged down in the complicated recipes forget that.

    You can get a cheap julienne slicer to make zuchinni pasta or slaws: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?ord…

    For slaws just shred whatever you want (carrots, beets, pears, cabbage…) add some apple cider vinegar or lemon and some cold pressed olive oil, spices, agave if you like it sweeter. Yum. A staple of mine.

    Oh yes rawlady, I have an apple and avocado salad several times a week. good idea!

  • Wow i wasnt expecting such helpful responses…All of the salads mentioned sound delicious! Thank you..any ideas for some treats i could make?....my new favorite is frozen grapes..so simple yet such a lovely treat..the red grapes are the best!

  • Oh, I know exactly how you feel! I live in a dorm as well and have the same restrictions. :( I snuck in a small food processor, though, and I just use it in the really tiny kitchen the whole building shares.

  • Yeah it is pretty rediculous…My RA is convinced anything could start a fire…But being sneaky is always thrilling so maybe when i go home for thanksgiving i will grab my food processor or i guess i could buy a huge morter and pestal that could be fun especially when im stressed out..haha. I have a mini fridge so atleast i can have my fruit and veggies in there and the dorm salads aren’t too bad except the poor lettuce at the salad bar is always dead along with all the other veggies:(.
