Raw Guacamole Dip Sandwiches with Smoked Red Pepper “Cheese” Sauce and Chipotle Buns
On Monday, I wrote a long post about growing herbs in pots. And then, this happened. The herb post will have to wait. You need this recipe.
The recipe for the buns are here, too. I am pretty excited about them. They are made with from veggies and have a wonderful bread-like texture. The guacamole dip and the Smoked Red Pepper “Cheese” Sauce? I had to restrain myself from eating them with a spoon.
I won’t make you wait any longer. Don’t be intimidated by this recipe. If you make the buns the day before, it comes together very quickly. Did I mention they are chipotle buns? And don’t forget to soak your cashews.
