Raw Zucchini Noodles with Protein-Packed Pesto
Spiralized zucchini noodles tossed in a creamy basil pesto and topped with protein-rich sprouted lentils and hemp hearts. The vibrant sauce clings beautifully to every crisp, refreshing strand.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchini
1 cup fresh basil
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
6 tbsp nutritional yeast
4 tbsp hemp hearts
0.5 cup sprouted lentils
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into thin, noodle-like strands and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small food processor or high-speed blender, combine the fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the pesto ingredients until the mixture is creamy and well-combined, adding a teaspoon of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Pour the pesto over the zucchini noodles and toss gently with tongs until every strand is evenly coated.
Fold in the sprouted lentils and halved cherry tomatoes, then sprinkle the hemp hearts over the top before serving immediately.
