this weekend while in burlington visiting my parents, i took myself out for a quick lunch at the naked sprout, an all vegan and mostly raw restaurant. in the mood for mexican, i at first had my eye on the raw tacos, but after pouring over the menu i set on the taco salad: a massive bowl of mixed greens topped with a fresh tomato & cucumber salsa, guacamole, cashew sour cream, sunflower seed taco 'meat' & raw carrot-flax crackers. it was so delicious, extremely satisfying and every bite was packed with different flavours and textures.
the most amazing never-ending salad bowl. amazing i tell you. i almost licked the bowl clean.
it was enough to fill me up, but since i couldn't leave without dessert, i took home a piece of raw strawberry cheesecake. which i may or may not have eaten for breakfast the next day.
{mental note: i should start more of my days with raw cheesecake...}
mexican food is one food that translates really well raw. The salad looks amazing, really. As does the cheesecake, wow.
ReplyDeleteI went there, too, this weekend for the first time. Let me tell you, it will not be my last! The tempeh reuben was uber delicious! The fudge pie was so dense it was like a fudge with a crust. Rob had the burger and avocado key lime pie which were also really good. Can't wait to try the taco salad after seeing this.... and to be honest, I have been pining their Sunday brunch! Di dyou see the raw menu? Oh my! :)
ReplyDeletethat reuben is totally on my hit list for next time! but no i didn't see their brunch menu, that's exciting too!
DeleteI want that taco salad so badly right now!!!!!
ReplyDeleteif you hop on a plane right now, and i hop in my car, i can meet you there for lunch!
Deletegod damn that looks good
ReplyDeleteNo cinco de mayo festivities here, which is a shame looking at all the gorgeous food! I am glad you had such a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteTaco Salad usually isn't my thing, but I think this one would change my mind! It looks amazing and so does that cheesecake! Yum!
