2 medium cucumbers, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
juice and zest of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup fresh basil, julienned
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Add the sunflower seeds and pulse again for 20 seconds. Add the zucchini, onions,
and celery and pulse for another 20 seconds (until everything looks rice-size). Pour into a bowl and add the ginger, lemon juice, tamari, and fresh herbs. Add cayenne for desired heat. Mix well and season with the salt and pepper. Optional: Sprinkle with dulse flakes or thinly sliced nori.
Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl and serve alongside the Sunflower Mock Tuna (on a bed of greens, if you like).
