Yield: 1 1/2 cups, 6 servings

Conventional trail mix is made from roasted nuts, with added oils and lots of salt. You won't miss any of that in this delicious raw version. The small amount of added salt gives a "roasted" flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds, cashews, pecans, or sunflower seeds (or a mixture)
• 1/2 cup chopped dates, chopped dried apricots, or dark or golden raisins (or a mixture)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Equipment

• chef's knife
• cutting board
• medium mixing bowl
• measuring cups and spoons
• spatula

Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Stored in a glass jar at room temperature, Trail Mix will keep for 3 months.
