Raw Taco salad

Yummy!  I left out the nuts since I cant have walnuts or cashews, but the kids really liked this.  I also added spinach, just cause its yummy.  I really like this website with raw recipes.  Not only are they less expensive than a lot of raw recipes, but I can budget dinner at the same time :)





ingredients

• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 large tomato
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 head romaine
