INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
150g Extra Firm Tofu (cubed)

2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds

Pour the vegan pesto over the mixture and toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, protein-packed vegan meal.
