Raw Taco Salad

A week ago I decided to take on the raw food diet challenge. Not 100% but 75% -80% of my diet would be totally raw and natural, so nothing processed, packaged, etc. For the most part I have been doing well but I must admit I haven't given up my favorite cookies or ice cream but it's a work in progress. 

I have come across the most awesome raw recipe, like ever. Seriously. 

Introducing... the raw taco salad. Be prepared to have your taste buds rocked. Go home and make this now.
