So lately I’ve been trying to make quick and easy (and delicious, obviously) lunches. This is as easy as it gets! This pesto is delicious and you can really put it on a ton of different things besides veggies noodles.
It would be a wonderful addition on top of a salad, a dip for veggies, a side with an over easy egg, in a low carb wrap with some sliced veggies… so versatile!
Wait, now I really want to do all the aforementioned ideas because this pistachio pesto is the bomb.com.
So, here’s what you do to make Avocado Pistachio Pesto Zoodles:
First, spiralize your zucchini and place in a strainer lined with a paper towel. Toss with some sea salt and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
Put the hemp hearts, pistachios, garlic, and sea salt in the food processor and process until well chopped.
Then add the avocado and avocado oil and process until smooth.
I love crunch of the raw zoodles, but you can also sauté for a few minutes with some avocado oil and garlic!
Pat the zoodles dry with a paper towel and toss with the pesto and top with whatever goodies you like! I put some extra pistachios and cilantro.
Want to save this for later? I made this Pinterest-friendly image, just for youuu 😉
