Basil Zucchini Wraps
I love wraps. They are a quick, easy way to throw together a tasty, healthy lunch or dinner. These wraps have a zucchini-basil base with a little coconut thrown in. Black sesame seeds add a little color and nutrients. For the filling, a quick dice of some veggies combined with spinach cream is perfect. These are quick, easy and bursting with flavor. The wraps will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks, properly wrapped.

Goodness, what a beautiful meal! The wraps are convincing me that I might *need* a dehydrator. Hmm.
Hey, would it be okay to use this photo/link on my new site, GlutenFreeFeed.com? Thanks 🙂

Just did all the prep (but not the assembly) for this to have for this week’s lunches. Mmmm! That spinach cream sauce is GOOD. I do wonder if I can find young coconut meat somehow other than going through the labor of dealing with an actual coconut (canned, etc.) as I must admit I’m chronically short on time.

Susan – just love your photo’s, your comments, your recipes – professional but not boring, informative but still exciting, and you answer everyone’s questions. What a great site – I’m on a huge raw learning curve and am so passionate about it I want to do what you’re doing – I’m doing UK Karen Knowler’s teacher training course to get myself and my business up and going and really I think you are a great model to follow. It’s so great the collaborative nature of you and a some of the other raw foodies – and we still have to make a living – can’t wait for your recipe book – I’ll certainly be buying it for my inspiration.
