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.
