PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
Nut cheese must be made a week in advance. Grind the walnuts with the water and salt in a food processor. Let sit for several days until it starts to ferment and smell like cheese.
To make raw vegetable noodles, slice zucchini in quarters. Remove the seeds. Using a vegetable peeler, create long strips the length of the zucchini. Follow the same instructions for the squash, cutting to the desired thickness of the noodle.
Mix the balsamic vinegar, sunflower oil, black pepper and chopped basil with the nut cheese and pour over the noodles. Serve.

AYURVEDIC ANALYSIS
Surprisingly easy to digest - I expected gas but instead got ojas. Add a little spices to the nut cheese for true Vata type cold digestion, and a little less vinegar for Pitta. Raw meals are rough for digestion.
WHAT IS RAW SQUASH FETTUCCINE WITH BALSAMIC NUT-CHEESE?Raw green squash peels into a thin, light and delicate ribbon (note: not mixed with flours or grains!). Folded nicely into a gourmet plate of noodles. Nut cheeses add the fats, proteins and balanced flavors. Like eating a cloud!

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main characteristics
( gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
People tend to get sick, over and over again, due to similar causes and habitual imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass.
Catabolic people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic people tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.

I'm not really sure how to make the walnut cheese. I looked it up on other sites and they mention using a food dehydrator. Could you please elaborate on the cheese making process? Thanks!
