RAW PIZZA YMMY

My family asks me to make this 2 or 3 times a week!prep-time: 30-40 minutes

INGREDIENTSCrust:

1 cup cashews

pinch Celtic sea salt (or salt to taste)1/2 cup fresh basil Tomato Sauce:

1 cup sundried tomatoes (the kind you buy in a jar of olive oil. Otherwise, soak regular sundried tomatoes in water until soft, about 1-2 hours. Longer is fine if you want to soak them overnight for instance)

1 tbsp. honey Cheese:

1 cup cashews, soaked 6-12 hours preferably

Juice of 1/2 lemon

pinch Celtic sea salt (or salt to taste)1/2 cup fresh basil

1 clove garlic, with core of clove removed

1 tbsp water

Toppings:1/2 cup cilantro, chopped finely

1 tbsp black olives, seed removed, chopped finely

1 yellow tomato, cubed1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 stick celery, thinly sliced1/2 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced

Marinade:1/2 lemon, juiced

tbsp olive oil

tbsp water

pinch salt

tsp honey (optional) DIRECTIONS 1. To Marinate Toppings- Mix all toppings in bowl- Add marinade ingredients- Allow mixture to marinate while you prepare the rest of the pizza. (Start the marinade earlier in the day for a softer toppping mixture. For a really soft topping you can put the marinade in a glass bowl with glass lid outside in the sun for 1 to several hours) 2. For Crust- Blend cup cashews into powder- Blend in basil and salt- Remove from blender, complete mixing with hands if necessary, and press mixture down into a round crust on plate. It will be a fairly thin crust. After shaping and pressing down (kids love doing this part), use a spatchula to loosen the crust from the bottom of the plate 3. For Tomato Sauce- Blend both ingredients together until smooth sauce- Pour sauce on to pizza crust and smooth out until it covers crust evenly 4. For Cheese- Blend all ingredients until creamy sauce- Pour cheese over tomato sauce and smooth out evenly 5. Add Toppings- Pour toppings on to top of pizza Slice, serve and enjoy!
