Raw Shaved Salad with Mint, Walnut Oil, Lime and Cashews

This raw shaved salad is particularly spring-like and refreshing. It was inspired by a recent trip to Seattle and has been such a fun recipe to have on hand with summer quickly approaching. I love enjoying it for breakfast, served with a poached egg and juice, as a side for lunch, or even as an afternoon snack. The jicama adds such a refreshing crunch, the lime a tang, the cashews a salty crunch – I could go on and on about its amazing qualities and taste! Basically you’ll feel like a million bucks eating this salad; raw food is so great for the digestive system and you’ll surely feel it after partaking this dish.
