Mock Potato Salad

Mock Potato Salad

Mock Potato Salad or Not Potato Salad is one of my favorite raw recipes. It has a perfect combination of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter. I have taken Not Potato Salad to many gatherings, including one with Matt Monarch(Raw Spirit e-Book, by Matt Monarch), Angela Stokes(angelabeforeafter), Steve Pavlina, and Erin Pavlina, for a special Raw Food World TV private get together. Everyone thought the salad was so delicious!

stop the blender a few times and tamp the
