Raw Vegan Zucchini Lasagna

I had no idea when I was making this dish how amazing and tasty it would be.  I over-ate.  It was one of the most surprising recipes I have tried in my raw food experiment.   I found this recipe on the rawmazing.com website.  Whether you are trying a raw food diet for the first time or you are primarily eat raw, plant based meals, this site at rawmazing.com is by far the best I have found.  I have quite a few recipes here that I have tried from this site.  No disappointment yet.
