Raw Food Diet – Free recipes and tips by The Rawtarian

Raw tuna salad recipes are integral to my raw food recipe arsenal.

Here is my favourite raw food tuna salad recipe.

I like to eat it with a crisp apple, or this mock tuna pate is great as a salad topper, too. Or how about eating it in a nori roll? The possibilities are endless for this mock raw tuna salad.

I make this raw tuna recipe at least once a week. If you need something to take to work for lunch, try packing some raw crackers, a little tupperware of this tuna spread, and a knife. You’ll be good to go. If you want, you can leave the garlic out if you want this to be more breath-friendly. (But it really is better with the garlic.)

Raw Tuna Salad Recipe

Tuna Paste/Pate

2 cups sunflower seeds (soaked for at least two hours) or you could use walnuts instead (or a combination of them both)
1 tablespoon dulse (seaweed)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Add in
Chopped celery
Chopped onions
Chopped parsley
Raw pickles
Chopped apples

1. Soak the nuts. Rinse them well and discard all water.
2. Process all of the paste ingredients in a food processor on high until the mixture resembles a very smooth paste. You should not see any nut bits at all. You may need to stop and start and get in there with a spatula.

3. Eat right away or refrigerate to eat later. I prefer to keep the pate separate and I don’t add any chunks (onions, celery, etc) until I’m ready to eat.
4. When you’re ready to eat, serve your portion in a bowl. Then add some chopped onions, parsley, raw pickles or apples to suit your taste.
5. Enjoy on crackers, on top of a salad, in a nori roll, or more…
