RAW HEMP SEED BURGERS!! w/ all the fixin's ;)

I am waaaaaay excited about these!! So amazingly delicious, I can still taste it from roughly 6 hours ago. I'm salivating, bad...I want MORE!!
I had a raw burger a few weeks ago at Rawthentic Eatery and was super inspired to make my own. The patties, cashew mayo, & marinated "teriyaki grilled" peppers & onions were all brewed in this creative little mind of mine. I did, however, let myself be inspired by Ani Phyo when it came to the mustard & ketchup, because I had no clue what to do. I was still creative enough to modify her recipes, though :)
I dehydrated the peppers & onions, to make them have a "grilled" taste & texture. Then, I marinated them in my raw "teriyaki" sauce overnight. Soooooooooo yummy!
I wrapped everything up in a collard green, & chowed down. LML <3
By the way...I know the recipes look overwhelming at first, but I promise you: minus dehydration/marinating time, you will spend less than an hour in the kitchen (including clean-up). Oh, and it's way worth it for the health benefits & taste ;) Do cow burgers promise that?

For tomorrow's lunch, which needs to be prepared in advance: I didn't want to have to worry about my collard wrap going soggy, soooo...BURGER SALAD was born!! ohh emm geeee, I am waaaaay stoked about my lunch tomorrow! Everyone is always super jealous of my lunches :) I think you should do the same to your co-workers ;) Show off your sexy raw food! Chow down, foodies!
