Out to Eat: Raw Tacos from Red Pepper Deli
I swear, you guys… the taco “meat” (made from walnuts) smelled exactly like the real deal. The taste was pretty on point, too. Seasoning is universal, I guess. These tacos were served on a romaine leaf with diced tomatoes, onions, and sprouts on top. I also tried a CocoCabana smoothie, made with Thai young coconuts.
My dining companion Rachel tried the raw burrito. She said she was pretty impressed with the raw cheese (I think it’s made from cashews). Check out her take on the experience here.
I don’t feel the need to eat raw all the time, but I love eating it when I can. I always feel so refreshed after eating a raw meal! Plus, I love how it forces chefs to get creative.
