cinco de mayo :: raw vegan horchata

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Interested in celebrating today with a delicious, tasty and dare I say healthy option!  Check out Annemarie and Kevin from The Renegade Health Show's take on a raw vegan version of the creamy sweet Horchata drink.  Click here to check it out!  It's so yum.  Of course, prepping it is a little time consuming like a lot of raw vegan recipes but then how often does Cinco de Mayo happen.  That's a rhetorical question!

Today we'll be celebrating with a few virgin cocktails and some Fresh Tomatillo Salsa.  I first tried tomatillo's last summer, fresh from the farmer at the Kitsilano Farmer's Market.  What a delight!  Just on it's own, so beautiful, wrapped in it's little paper husk.  Tomatillo's are a real treat.

Another great and original salsa recipe that I discovered recently was by Emma at the Food Coma Blog.  She dabbles here and there into vegan and gluten free recipes but mostly her passion for food and experimenting with recipes is inspiring to me.  I love to frequent that space.  Here is her delicious Strawberry Salsa recipe that she posted recently if you are looking for a little something different!  Strawberry and cilantro together = YUM!  Gives me an idea for a new smoothie recipe....  

Hope you have a festive day.
