INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 Garlic clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
150g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1/3 cup Chickpeas
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside in a large bowl.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the raw cashews, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Lightly pan-fry the firm tofu (cut into cubes) over medium heat until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a separate small pan, warm the shelled edamame and chickpeas just until heated through.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the cashew pesto until evenly coated. Gently fold in the tofu, edamame, and chickpeas.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Enjoy immediately for a fresh, vibrant meal that balances creaminess and crunch.
