Sense of humour is the quality you value at most?

Then MD Vegan’s video blog  is for you. The vegan chef from Berlin with more than 20 years of vegan experience, he dances under the blender song  and shares cooking secrets and healthy facts about the ingredients. He likes  raw food because  the options are so vast and the recipes are simple and healthy.

Smoothies and juices will strike your imagination with fantastic combinations. Salads, soups, breakfasts, sushi, desserts, cheezes, drinks, cakes and snacks, bowls, spaghetti, wraps and sauces: there are more than 1500 videos. Many of them  are made of only 3 elements.

I’m testing one of these trinity recipes (1) cucumber, (2) onions and (3) sauce.

The sauce is also construed in accordance with  this principle of 3  (1) hemp seeds, (2) lemon and (2) mint. MD Vegan adds salt to the cucumber. I replaced the salt with freshly ground pepper, as salt is a highly allergenic element, and we get all the necessary elements directly from the plants.

A videos collection is in English and German .

Outcome.

The salad turned out to be very delicate, an excellent option for a hot summer, because the cucumber consist mainly of water (∼ 90%) . The sauce, even it could look simple, is refreshing and adding light sour taste. This sauce will be a  perfect match for any summer fresh salad. By the way, hemp seeds are one of the best sources of proteins and nutrition elements.

If there is no special grater to make circles,  use a classical one with large wholes.
