Happy Friyay to all of you Steemit Foodies out there!

 
Now that the days are getting hotter and hotter (at least in Europe), I'd like to share some refreshing and hydrating recipes with you guys. These raw vegan carrot noodles for example are an amazing fresh alternative for all the pasta fans out there. Together with a creamy peanut dressing, fresh herbs and optionally some tofu chunks you can create a super delicious Asian style summer dish.

I love raw veggie pasta because it is super quick and easy to make plus you will not feel like passing out afterwards. If you don't like tofu, you can use another plant based source of protein instead, chickpeas for instance. 💚
