Raw Vegan Red Bell Pepper Pate Recipe

A green bell pepper is an unripe pepper. If left to ripen, it would turn red. Solanine, which is the poison found in the nightshade family, has the highest levels in unripe fruits and vegetables. These levels drop as the fruit or vegetable ripens. This is why only red bell peppers will not cause harm and are perfectly safe for consumption.

Ingredients:

2 red bell peppers, chopped

2 cups walnuts, chopped

4 large celery stalks, chopped

5 scallions, chopped

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until well combined.

You can serve this with home made vegetable chips as a dip.

I like to put some on top 1/2 of an avocado and garnish with pumpkin seeds.

Enjoy!
