Raw Ramen Soup
Recipe Author: Beautiful on Raw
Ramen traditionally is wheat noodles served in a warm meat broth. Practically none of the ingredients are on my diet. Let us take a traditional recipe and create something with the spirit of the original recipe but filled with raw healthiness, wholeness, and goodness. “Raw equals cold.” That’s what so many raw food recipes imply. But here’s a scrumptious recipe with an Asian charm and a welcome warmth.
Shiitaki Lo Mein Zucchini Noodles
Recipe Author: Beautiful on Raw
“Lo Mein” is translated from Chinese as “stirred noodles”. These zucchini ribbon noodles are stirred alright, but don’t expect them to look or taste like cooked. The analogy to the classical Chinese lo mein is created by the ginger flavor, sesame seeds, and taste and texture of shiitaki mushrooms.

Russian-Style Layered Mushroom Salad
Recipe Author: Beautiful on Raw
Tired of traditional salads? This recipe puts a whole new spin on the salad theme. The idea for this festive layered salad comes from Russian cuisine. Traditional Russian salad recipes often include herring, boiled potatoes and mayonnaise. But this healthy variation is chock full of raw goodness. Instead of cooking vegetables, use them in their raw state. Let mushrooms be the substitute for herring and have the avocados stand in for potatoes—more tastily, too! No mayo, either—instead, a nut-based dressing.
