Easy Raw Swiss Chard Wraps
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.

Pish posh! 🙂 I will never understand how people think it can be hard to peel a banana or bite into an apple. Not too long ago, a hunk of bread, a hunk of cheese and an apple was a meal, LOL! I’ve also watched my family stand over a pot in the kitchen stirring, basting, turning, and simmering and then scrubbing the pans – that’s hard!
Looking forward to trying the lime sauce. I just made the mock sour cream sauce for the Rawchos – think I can easily convert the leftover sour cream into the lime sauce? I have to look at the recipes together, but it definitely seems like a good way to use up the rest of the sour cream!

(p.s. The Rawchos recipe rawks!)

I store it in the refrigerator. It lasts at least a few weeks. Cheers!
