Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all ingredients in your food processor.
- 2. Pulse very briefly. Just pulse once and take a look!
- 3. Continue to pulse briefly to get the a "chicken-salad" type consistency that is quite chunky, like the attached picture. Go slow!
- 4. Consume immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian I like to use a crisp green Granny Smith apple or Gala apple in this recipe, but any apple will do. I use a medium-to-large apple.
Don't over-process, because it will look like the attached pic in just a quick pulse or two! So go slow.
This recipe does not keep well AT ALL. Just make it immediately before you want to eat it, and eat it all or force other people to help you eat it!
This makes a great side salad. It's a bit heavy for a whole meal, but I have eaten it as an entire meal on occasion.

This was so fabulous. I can't say enough about this. I am one of those people that can eat the same thing over and over and over. This is my go to meal for lunch or dinner. Thank you for this outstanding recipe...

I am the same way, Jacksotc. If I like something, watch out, I just might eat it every day for two weeks heehee. The nice thing about this recipe is you can switch it up a bit to make it a bit different depending on what you have on hand - just try to keep the textures the same and it should work out great. :)

Wow! I use this recipe several times a week now, with one variation or another. I use whatever I have on hand. I've been using lime juice this week because that's what I've got — Yum!

Hi Serena, I'm so glad that you enjoyed this recipe. It's pretty quick and doesn't require too much chopping :)

Made this tonight for a paleo couples dinner, introducing some non paleo friends to the goodness of healthy eating. Everyone loved this and asked what the dressing was, and couldn't believe it was just lemon juice. I didn't add the dill rather serve it with epicure dill topper to suit individual taste.... Fantastic!! Everyone raved about it. Thank you I am a fan and am now hooked!

Am eating it right now. I used rosemary instead of dill (that was what I had in the cupboard). And I sliced some avocado into it too.
This is great.. Will certainly be eating it more often.

Glad you liked, Thabo. And thanks for coming back to share your experience with it! I just looooove rosemary

Did you chop up the carrot or the apple before putting them into the food processor?
The Rawtarian
Jan 27, 2013
Hi Gianni, I simply chopped them up very roughly before hand. For example, I chopped the carrot into 3 or 4 pieces and as - for the apple - I chopped it into four sections and roughly cut out the core. That's it!

What if I do not have a food processor?
I can just chop up everything and mix together, but I wouldn't be able to add the cashews

Hi Tanika, this recipe won't work well unless you use a food processor. I say refrain from making it until you get one. They are not very expensive, $50 or $60 should do it from your local big box store. Very worth the $!
