These lemony zucchini noodles with avocado pesto are the ultimate healthy comfort food! Naturally gluten free and vegan, they’re delicious for a light dinner, or paired with your favorite protein for a nourishing lunch. Yum!
Not so pretty, although I finally got the hang of it.
Kind of.
I swear that if there had been hidden camera in my house, I would have been the poster child for a bunch of dumb blond raw carrot noodle making jokes…
How many blondes does it take to make one batch of raw carrot noodles…?
But these zucchini noodles? They’re SO easy to make, and super versatile too!
The brilliant thing about these zucchini noodles is that you can top them with anything you might put on top of pasta.
Like my super yummy homemade Kale Pesto, or my favorite Greek Salsa with tomatoes and fresh oregano.
Or, my latest healthy and delicious creation, this creamy, dreamy Lemony Avocado Pesto…
