Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 150kcal
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini spiralized into noodles
- 1/4 cup sugar-free pesto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cherry tomatoes for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the pesto dressing until evenly coated.
- Top with cherry tomatoes, if desired.
- Serve immediately for a crisp, fresh salad.
Notes
Chef's Tip: Toss the zoodles with dressing right before serving - if they sit too long, they'll pool water on the plate. Keto Swap: traditional pasta is replaced with spiralized zucchini noodles - salt the zoodles lightly and let them sit for 10 minutes, then blot dry, since raw zucchini releases a lot of water.
