Raw Corn Chips

   Man, do I love this recipe! It's very addicting. These raw corn chips will satisfy any salty carb craving you have, while giving you the raw bonus. I started making these while I volunteered at a local raw vegan cafe. Of course I put my own spin on things, so this is my version. It has a slight kick, and a big crunch. They are perfect!
   Sorry for those of you who do not have a dehyderator. I am still in the process of creating an oven version (though it will not be raw), but my attempts have not gone too well!!
  If you still are confused about why raw is better check out my raw post under health tips and keeping fit.

1. Place all ingredients in a blender.

Dressing:
1/2 cup veganesse (silken tofu can be substituted)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
