Rosh Hashanah Raw

Carrots, apples, dates, honey...all supposed to be good to make and eat for Jewish new year.  You know, bring in sweet stuff for a sweet year.  Also leeks to cut down which is standing in our way and bad. 

This has a hint of mint which makes it really scrumptious.  Dates are a wonderful sub for overt fats.  There is a creaminess to it and solidity that has a satisfying mouth feel.  They are also so good for you!

Ingredients:

9 dates, deglet noor (smaller than medjool but can use medjool, just less of them)
1 med. carrot, cut into chunks
1 leek, white and pale green bits only, cut into fat chunks
Tight handful of fresh spinach leaves
3 med. leaves of mint
15 slices of cucumber
10 grape tomatoes, cut in half
lemon juice (optional)

Put dates, carrot, spinach and mint in food processor.  Process until stuck together and still chunky.  Taste to see if it needs anything, like more mint or maybe a little lemon juice.  Put dollop on cuke slice and put one grape tomato half on top.
