Low-Fat Raw "Herring" Under a Fur Coat (Vegan Twist on Russian "Shuba")

To make "Herring":

2 organic zucchini, diced into very small cubes
1/2 raw sweet onion, diced
1/2 avocado
several sprigs of dill

Mix well.  

For Layers:

1 med. turnip, grated
2 med. carrots, grated
1 beet peeled and grated (after having ripened on counter for couple days)
5 cauliflower florets, grated into small bits)
turmeric fresh, grated

Mix half of the cauliflower with turmeric and leave the other half white.  

Bottom layer is grated turnip - to mimic the grated potatoes
2nd layer is "herring" mix
3rd layer is carrots
4th layer is beets
top layer is a ring of yellow cauliflower (cauliflower w/turmeric) and inside center is white cauliflower (has no turmeric) - this is to mimic the egg yolk and white that go on top.  

Optional: could add homemade tahini (see below) to some of beets to make a 5th layer of beets mixed with tahini.  This is to mimic the layer with beets mixed with mayonnaise.  

Tahini Sauce  (will make more than you will use for this recipe)
1 cup soaked sesame seeds
water, as needed

Soak sesame seeds for 4 hours.  Drain and put in fridge for 4 hours.  Put in high speed blender with 1 cup of water.  Keep adding water as needed to blend until smooth - up to 2 cups.
