Salad Rolls with Sweet Ginger Walnut Sauce

I was in the mood to make something pretty tonight so I went with salad rolls. The Sweet Ginger Walnut Sauce was an experiment that turned out really well.

Marinated Mushrooms/Onions Stuffing

• 2C Sliced Mushrooms
• 1/2C Sliced White Onion
• 1/4C Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
• 2T Braggs Liquid Aminos
• 2T Italian Seasoning

Mix ACV, Garlic, Liquid Aminos and Italian Seasoning together in a medium sized bowl add mushrooms and onions and set aside to let marinate.

Rolls

• 2Large Carrots
• 1 Large Zucchini
• Handful Baby Spinach

Using a mandoline slicer slice Zucchini and Carrots into thin strips layer in a shallow bowl sprinkled with salt to soften - set aside while you make the sauce.

Sweet Ginger Walnut Sauce

• 1C Walnuts
• 1/2C Tahini Paste
• 1/4 Lemon Juice
• 2T Maple Syrup
• 2T Fresh Grated Ginger
• 1T Braggs Aminos
• 1/4C Sun Dried Tomatoes (optional)
• 2T Olive Oil
• 1/4C Water (or apple juice)

Blend all until smooth in a high speed blender

Assemble

Drain and pat dry carrots and zucchini. Lay zucchini flat and place a strip on top. Put 2 Spinach leaves near one end and a small scoop of the mushroom/onion mix. Roll up and using a piece of the sliced carrot (sliced into ribbons) tie up the roll. Place rolls on a plate and serve with dipping sauce.

Raw Gingerale

My favourite summer drink...

• 2 fresh knots of ginger peeled and sliced (the more ginger the spicer it will be).
• A large mason jar
  
• 1 lemon sliced. Fill the jar with fresh water ginger and lemon slices.
• Agave or honey to taste (I don't use any sweetener in mine - if you don't like a sugary taste try it without - very gingery and delicious!)
• Club soda (if you want some fizz - but yummy mixed with plain water as well)
  

Put ginger, lemon and water in a jar, cover and set in a sunny hot window or on the porch for a day. This makes your ginger base. Mix to taste with club soda/sweetener and lots of ice any time you want a refreshing summer drink ( I use about 1/4 cup to one can of club soda - I like mine spicy - experiment by putting in 1T at a time until you get the ratio right). Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
