The Rawtarian's Thoughts

This cashew-based mock egg salad recipe tastes surprisingly like the real thing. It’s very rich and satisfying, and tastes best when balanced with light, fresh veggies, especially romaine lettuce.
If your blender isn’t powerful and has a difficult time blending harder items, consider soaking the cashews in warm water for an hour to soften them. Rinse and pat dry before using.
Another idea is to add some chopped mushroom to the red bell pepper and celery. The chewy texture of the mushrooms resembles the texture of egg whites.

So many of your recipes use cashews and I have a family member that can’t eat them. What’s the best way to substitute? And is it 1:1 ratio for substitution?

I have a cashew allergy. Is there another nut I can use instead?

Raw egg salad recipe
I made this yesterday to top the last of our macaroni. Pretty nice, but
I used the processor not the blender. Will pay attention next time and
will use the black salt. My husband swore he could taste onions??? none
there of course!

The main difference re: blender vs food processor for this recipe is the smoothness factor! It'll be smoother (much smoother) in the blender :)

Raw egg salad recipe
Very flavorful and great texture. Smoothe and crunchy. I used black salt for a more "egg" like flavor and finely diced onions for a little more crunch. This is a keeper!

If you use Kala Namak (black salt) instead of regular salt, it tastes like real egg.

I'm so glad you liked it, Katherine! What kind of mix-ins did you use?

I followed the guidelines in the raw cleanse, so just the peppers and cherry tomatoes on the side. Might try with mushrooms next time. Such a great recipe to experiment with!

Love this recipe and made it several times now, then the other day I had some advacado to use up and when I mixed it in an the egg salad I found it almost replicated the texture and taste of the hard boiled egg yoke so combined with the mushrooms I found it was even more like egg salad!!

I didn't use bell pepper as my partner can't digest them very well

Raw egg salad recipe
If you have a good serrated peeler, you can peel the red peppers. That makes them much easier to digest. Mine is from Victorinox, you can even peel tomatoes with it.

Hi Karla,
Interesting suggestion! It has never occurred to me to peel bell peppers. A great tip for those of you with sensitive stomachs.. As for me, I have an iron gut :)

The egg salad plot thickens... Genius Elaine!! I'll have to try it - with both firm avocado and mushrooms.... YES. Next level egg salad goodness! I love this kind of food discovery.
