Nutty Sandwich Filling

This is one of my favorite sandwich fillings because it's easy to make and tastes delicious. There are all sorts of variations that you could do with this but let's start with the basic recipe.


Ingredients:


1/2 cup raw almonds

1 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/4 cup finely diced onion

1/2 cup finely diced carrot

1 T soy sauce

Juice of 1/2 lemon

S&P to taste


Place the almonds and sunflower seeds in a food processor and process until very finely chopped. You also might be able to accomplish this with a blender.


Put the nuts into a bowl and mix in the onion and carrot. Blend well. Mix in the soy sauce and lemon juice. Add S&P to taste.

Store in a container in the fridge. That's it! You now have a healthy and delicious sandwich filling.

Additional Notes:

Although the recipe specifies almonds and sunflower seeds, the seeds I had on hand when first making this recipe, you could also use walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Once I had some cooked broccoli on hand so diced up the stems and put those in too.

Taste before adding the salt because the soy sauce is already salty and you might not need any additional salt.

I especially like this filling in pita bread or rolled inside a large lettuce leaf. Romaine works well.

Enjoy!
