INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchinis (spiralized)
200 grams Extra-Firm Tofu, cubed
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas, drained
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis to form noodles and set aside in a large bowl.
Press the extra-firm tofu gently to remove excess water, then cut into cubes.
In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh basil, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Pour the pesto sauce over the zucchini noodles and gently toss to coat evenly.
Add the tofu cubes and chickpeas to the bowl. Mix everything together carefully to ensure the sauce covers all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Serve immediately, or chill for 10-15 minutes for a refreshing twist.
