INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchini (spiralized)
100g firm tofu (cubed)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Press the tofu briefly to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy vegan pesto until evenly coated.
Gently mix in the cubed tofu and chickpeas, ensuring they are well distributed.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, protein-packed vegan dish.
