Enjoy a vibrant, fresh bowl of spiralized zucchini noodles tossed with a luscious cashew pesto and protein-packed tofu. This dish harmonizes creamy, nutty flavors with a bright lemon-garlic kick, making it both satisfying and energizing for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchinis (approx. 400g)
200g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (28g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (14g)
1 cup Fresh Basil (30g)
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice (15g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create noodles from the zucchinis and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil to achieve a creamy consistency.
Drain the tofu and cut it into cubes. For a lightly crisped texture, optionally sauté tofu cubes in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the tofu cubes and cashew pesto until evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
