Nearly Raw Rainbow Noodles

Today while I was scanning Pinterest. I came across this really cool mind blowing pin. There is a rainbow on the screen with a black dot at the top under the last color. If you stare at the dot for 20 seconds and then look up at the sky all you see is hundreds of little rainbows. So fun! So I did that all afternoon and have lots of rainbows on the brain.

The new dish I concocted tonight is one big vitamin packed rainbow. While grocery shopping last week in the asian dish section I came across Black Bean Noodles. They are  thin more like angel hair than spaghetti in my opinion. I thought I might introduce them into my raw veggie pasta dish. That ended up being a seriously good idea! My non-loving noodle husband gave the black bean noodles two thumbs up. 

I hope you enjoy this very colorful, healthy dinner!

NEARLY RAW RAINBOW NOODLES


rainbow noodles:
1 zuchinni spiralized or shredded
1 carrot spiralized or shredded
8 chopped sweet peppers
1 head brocolli
1 diced leek
2 C shredded red cabbage
1 package black bean noodle
1 T coconut oil
2 T organic peanuts 
cilantro

avacado hemp dressing:
1 avacado
1 t minced garlic
1 T lime juice
3 T raw amino acids or tamari
a bit of water
dash of salt
2 T hemp seeds

Boil water on stove. Once water comes to a boil drop black bean noodles in. Reduce heat, simmer noodles for 6 minutes. Meanwhile use your spiralizer or shredder to make vegetable noodles with your zuchinni and carrot. Chop peppers thinly. Place noddles and peppers in pasta bowl. Heat coconut oil over medium heat and gently saute leeks and brocolli for a few minutes, don't let brocolli get over cooked, they should still be crunchy. Let cool. Add to pasta bowl. Remove noodles from heat. Rinse througly under cold water. Once cool to the touch add to pasta bowl. Peel avacado and place in food processor. Add in other dressing ingredients except hemp seeds. Blend until nice and smooth. Add in hemp seeds. Pour dressing over rainbow pasta. Gently mix all ingredients. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts. No guilt! Only happy thoughts!
