Yummy Recipes

I tried two recipes that I liked:

Mock Salmon Pate. (I would call it Nut and Veggie Pate)

1 cup walnuts
1 stalk celery
1 green onion
1/2 red bell pepper (necessary for the pretty reddish color)
1/2-1 teaspoon sea salt

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and combined. Serve rolled in a lettuce or cabbage leaf or on crackers. Brad ate his on bread and on crackers. He liked it.

Key Lime Pie

Crust:
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts (could use cashews)
1 cup soft dates, pitted and soaked
1 ripe banana

Grind macadamia nuts in a food processor. Add banana and blend until smooth. Add dates and blend until smooth. Spoon into a pie pan and spread around.

Filling:

3 whole limes, peeled
2 cups dates, pitted and soaked
2 avocados

In a food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour filling on top of the crust. Refrigerate.

This is much better the next day. It tastes a lot lime-ier. This is a spoon-it-up type of pie. This makes a lot of pie. You could consider halving the recipe. I halved the Pate recipe.

Happy unbaking!

Those sound really good...Did you end up using the whole lime? Also, do you think it would taste as good sweetened with agave nectar?

What kind of dates did you use? 2 cups is alot, were they really expensive?
