INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
1/4 medium Avocado (50g)
3 tbsp Hemp Seeds (30g)
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (24g)

PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create noodles from the zucchini and set aside in a large bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and gently mix them with the zucchini noodles.
In a blender or food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, avocado, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Cube the extra-firm tofu into small pieces and gently fold into the zucchini and tomato mixture.
Pour the creamy vegan pesto over the salad and toss well to evenly coat all ingredients.

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
