INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (196g)
1/2 cup Chickpeas, canned & drained (82g)
3 ounces Firm Tofu (85g)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (36g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (21g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini to create noodles or use a julienne peeler if a spiralizer is not available.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and extra virgin olive oil. Blend until a smooth, creamy pesto forms. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles gently with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the chickpeas and lightly cube the firm tofu before adding to the noodles for a protein boost.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, chill or lightly warm the dish based on your preference.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, nutrient-packed vegan meal.
