Cooling, crunchy zucchini paired with a creamy lemon-tahini sauce makes for a light and delicious dish that is easy on your digestion and keeps you feeling light and balanced.
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini, spiralized or peeled into ribbons
¼ cup tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 small garlic clove, grated (optional)
2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)
Pinch of sea salt
Hemp seeds, or chopped nuts for topping
Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic (if using), and salt. Add water a little at a time until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the sauce until well coated. Sprinkle with hemp seeds, chopped nuts, or a protein before serving.
Pro Tip: Serve this chilled or room temp—perfect for hot summer days when your body craves cool, calming foods. You also could add a protein of choice to make it a full meal ( grilled shrimp, tofu, chicken etc)
