Appetizers & Snacks

Cheese Spread

2 c almond pulp (left over from making almond milk)
0.5 tsp Celtic sea salt (or Himalayan sea salt)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.5 c olive oil, extra virgin
1 tomato

Combine in food processor and puree.

Flax Crackers

1 c flax seeds
0.125 c kelp (or wakame)
2 c water

Let flax seeds soak for 30 minutes. Add kelp/wakame and spread onto the dehydrator tray. Dehydrate for 4 hours, flip, and dehydrate for another 4 hours or so until crispy.

Get creative! Make them sweet with cinnamon, raisins, and agave. Use the pulp from the almond milk and grind the flax seeds instead of leaving them whole, add a little agave and make more crackers or use for a pie crust.

Other ingredients to try include basil, garlic, onions, chili powder, chives, and Celtic sea salt.
