Rawviolis

This is one of the best raw dinner entrees I've found, yet.  It takes some time to prepare and assemble all the savory components, but is well worth the effort.  


I took apart a "rawvioli" to show the creamy, green pesto.  The red sauce is the raw marinara which, despite it's nontraditional appearance, is my favorite part of the meal. Both can be made ahead of time.


A mandolin comes in handy for julienning the beet and zucchini. I find I use mine often for raw food recipes. It's a great time-saver.
