Grocery List & Class Prep Notes

Prep time: 20 min.
Makes enough for 2 large servings, or 4 small ones.

Ingredients

  • 1 jicama, grated (or rutabaga, celeriac, zucchini)
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup or so water
  • 1 cup fresh sprouts
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint
  • 1 green onion
  • Sea salt or Herbamare, to taste

Directions

  1. Grate the jicama, and toss with a sprinkle of sea salt or Herbamare to soften.
  2. Put the avocado in a food processor or blender, with a small amount (1/4 cup or less) of water, and puree until it’s smooth. Add the sprouts, fresh mint and green onion, and blend again until it’s all combined.
  3. You can also make other flavors if you want – basil and cilantro are really tasty, and I’ve also made this sauce with mango and a bit of nut/seed butter instead of the avocado.
