The earthy taste of wild mushrooms, the freshness of herbs, and the sweetness of cherry tomatoes make this raw vegan tart pop. The almond-date crust makes the savory filling taste better by adding a nutty sweetness. Great for an appetizer or light meal that is both cool and refreshing.
Ingredients: 2 cups mixed wild mushrooms, thinly sliced. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup raw walnuts, chopped. 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup raw almonds. 1 cup dates, pitted. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1/4 cup water.
Instructions: In a bowl, combine the sliced wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes. In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds until finely ground. Add the dates and lemon juice. Process until the mixture starts to come together. Add water gradually until the mixture forms a sticky dough-like consistency. Press the almond-date mixture evenly into the base and up the sides of a tart pan to form the crust. Spread the marinated mushroom mixture evenly over the crust. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
