Kung Wow Veggies

Having recently decided to eat more raw foods, I was pressed to contribute a dish to a dinner party held by a friend, so that DH and I would have something raw to eat. And so this dish was born out of what veggies we had on hand and what appealed to us. My friend's dinner guests swarmed all over the veggie dish I brought and asked for the recipe. So who had a recipe? A little brain storming brought the ingredients back into focus. I hope you enjoy this!
