Easy Raw Swiss Chard Wraps

Susan | March 31, 2011

I often hear people talk about how difficult raw food is to make. Pish posh I say! One of my favorite lunches or dinners is quick and simple to put together, pretty easy on the wallet and also very tasty. All you need are some fresh veggies and in my case, a really good topping. Here is a quick version that I threw together tonight.

Pull out your favorite veggies, dice them up, throw them on some swiss chard leaves top with sauce. You can just pick them up off the plate and eat! I made a tasty raw food recipe for a Lime Cayenne Cream for these.

When I first started I found it difficult too… but I was choosing difficult dishes and wasn’t aware of the simple ones.. I was in the kitchen for hours.. but now.. I usually choose just super-simple recipes. It’s only as hard as you make it I guess 🙂
