Lasagna in the Raw
This recipe was submitted by Beth Aldrich, Beth Aldrich, Integrative Lifestyle & Nutrition Coach, Chicago. www.RestoringEssence.com

"My favorite seduction meal is my raw lasagna! It is alive, full of vibrancy and makes you tingle when you eat it. When I first tried raw food preparation, I was a bit overwhelmed at all of the preparation that was required for some recipes, however when my friend Bonita shared this recipe with me, I realized that I LOVE making raw meals and they love me too, by the vibrant, healthy way they make me feel. NOW, I seduce people to try raw by making this dish for them! They are usually surprised and delighted when they taste how delicious it is...and they always ask for seconds!"   Enjoy!
