Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Avocado Pesto

Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Avocado Pesto

Ingredients

  • 1 Zucchini
  • 1/2 Ripe Avocado
  • 1/4-1/2 Lemon Juice of
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • Pine Nuts or Walnuts, or Pistachio Nuts, or Cashew nuts
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar &/or Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Kale Leaf or Tuscan Cabbage, stalk removed
  • Fresh herbs like Basil or Coriander or Italian Flat-leaf Parsley or Mint
  • 2 Cherry Tomatoes or Sundried tomatoes optional, to garnish

Instructions

  • Use a Spiral Slicer, Julienne peeler, or a Vegetable peeler to turn zucchini into "pasta"
  • Blend all other ingredients except tomatoes in a blender (or mash up & mix with a fork)
  • Add water or more lemon juice if you would like it runnier
  • Serve & Eat

Notes

Notes:
Variations;
Other vegetables you can use instead of Zucchini are Carrots, Cucumber, Sweet Potato, Daikon Radish, or Butternut Pumpkin (aka Butternut Squash).
Optional - you can warm through the zucchini by sauteing or steaming if you prefer it heated
Black Ground Pepper is also nice, although I like to stay away from adding salt or pepper automatically to my dishes thesedays, but for a variation, I might add them sometimes.
Optional - serve on a bed of rocket, spinach, or mixed salad
Nuts should be added to the diet in moderation, we should only have a maximum of around 10 nuts per day, but vegetarians and raw foodists tend to get a little carried away with adding too many nuts to their daily diets & creating multitudes of nut-filled recipes. So add some nuts to this dish, but be mindful of your intake, as the body has to work very hard to digest nuts, so give your body a break and add them sparingly. They are still good for you, just don’t overdo it. If you don’t eat many nuts in your normal daily eating habits, you can add a lot more nuts to this dish (up to 1/4 cup), but if you eat nuts regularly, I would only be adding a maximum of 10 nuts.

I just joined Gettr and I highly recommend it - it's the best alternative to them all so far:

Thank you to the people who donated to save the website for another year. I was so scared of losing my research. How are you guys making money now that you're aware of the slavery system? I have no idea how we will win or survive the coming days. We need to start some brainstorming sessions where people with great ideas can be heard. I can't be the only one struggling; we need to find & share ways that help all of us. I'm also sick of my site constantly going down, it's attacked, censored, and constantly running out of "web resources". I'm with inmotion but had to downgrade to shared-hosting because the world flipped-upside down and I can't figure out how to make money. But I need another solution for hosting it elsewhere; in a budget-friendly way. Has anyone come across a good way for non-narrative-friendly sites to survive, that doesn't break the bank? Please contact me if you have ideas: (email | telegram | SMS +61408036323 | gettr )
