Instructions

• In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

• 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.
