Sashimi is a Japanese dish consisting of thinly-sliced pieces of raw fish. It can be eaten on its own, with soy sauce and wasabi or dressed with a marinade or sauce. To make a vegan sashimi without the fish, we’re substituting the raw fish with ripe, Fresh California Avocados. The rich, creamy texture of California Avocados stands in for the richness in many types of sashimi. This dish is paired with a zesty soy vinaigrette and peppers for spice.
