this time, preparing a spicy soup/sauce/dip, which can be used and combined in many different ways – for people who love the uncooked version of Mexican food.

Would you like something spicy – Mexican style – healthy, delicious, and at the same time, the preparation to be very easy and quick, then this recipe is for you.

The soup/sauce/dip is prepared in 10-15 minutes, and can be used in numerous ways. The raw version can be served separately as a spicy soup, or as a sauce for raw spaghettis (made out of zucchini), or as a sauce for a raw pizza.

If you are mostly cooking, then is a raw Mexican sauce a healthier alternative to cooked sauces; best used with red beans – of course – like every real Mexican dish, or for cooked potatoes, or lentils (a much healthier choice over processed food). Let the cooked dishes cool down to 115ºF (46ºC) (so that you can hold it in your hand) before adding the raw Mexico sauce.

Through that, the raw ingredients keep their taste, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

Another good use: an excellent dip for raw bread rolls, raw crackers, raw chips, but also for non-raw crackers and bread rolls.
