1 cup sprouted sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds (mixture w/out salt)
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes (w/out oil; soaked in H20 for 1-2 hours) - save water from soaking in case needed to moisten mixture
1 large handful of cilantro
sea salt, to taste
1 clove garlic, optional
Puree in food processor. Continually stirring the mixture to ensure even processing. Can be pressed and shaped into forms/crackers. Refrigerate for an hour or so to help harden further. I put dollop in collard green leaves and also spinach leaves and rolled up and ate. Quite delicious.
Have been raw since March 2012. Still finding my way. Welcome suggestions and comments and thoughts. If you reprint one of my recipes, please provide a link to this site and give me credit in some fashion. Thx!

Pomelo Pineapple Cilantro Juice
1/2 pomelo, peeled, leave the soft white rind pith (white color is sweet and pink/red is sour)
6 pineapple spears
1 large handful of cilantro, including stems
Slice pomelo into "smiles" to fit in juicer. About 8 "smiles" per pomelo. Put one "smile" into juicer and add handful of cilantro then add pineapple spear by spear and tamp down with a rhythmic push and then let go and then push again. This is so juicer doesn't overheat. Then add rest of pomelo "smiles." A tart and refreshing drink.

Mango Grapefruit Juice
1 grapefruit
12 oz. ripe mango
Juice - put mango chunks in then follow with a section of grapefruit. Will help the thicker mango juice to run out spout. This combo is amazing. You have to taste to believe.

Cilantro Lime Dressing
1 bunch cilantro
3 garlic cloves
1 medium tomato
1 lime, unpeeled
Put cilantro in juicer first without it hitting blade. Add tomato, garlic then lime and tamp down to juice. Items with more water help to move through the greens and maximize their use.
