Ingredients

1 Fruit Avocados
3 Cup Spinach
1/2 Oz Almond Flour
2 Clove Garlic
1/2 Fruit (2" dia) Limes
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
6 Medium Zucchini
1 Cup cherry tomatoes Cherry Tomatoes

Directions

Add the flesh of the avocado, spinach, almonds, garlic, lime juice, sea salt, and chili flakes (if using) to a food processor.

Process for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, or until smooth and creamy (if it’s too thick add water, one tablespoon at a time).


Take a taste and adjust seasoning.

Add olive oil and set aside

Use a spiralizerto create zucchini noodles (always read the directions for your spiral slicer as they vary by brand).

If you don't have a spiralizer use a regular vegetable peeler to vertically peel long, thin strips of the zucchini.

This will form more of a wider "noodle" from the zucchini, like fettuccini

Place the noodles in a covered microwave safe dish and microwave them on high for about 2 minutes.

Alternatively, you can cook them in boiling water for 2 minutes

Transfer zoodles to a large serving bowl, add pesto and halved cherry tomatoes and mix well.
