Prep: 10Cook: 10Total: 20 minutes
Yield 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 large zucchini
  • 3 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 oz burrata
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts (toast in 350F oven for 8 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

For the Walnut Pesto

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Make your pesto by combining all pesto ingredients in a food processor or high powered blender.
  2. Blend slowly, scraping down sides as needed until reached desired consistency. Set aside.
  3. Spiralize your zucchini. I used an Inspiralizer but you can also use a handheld one or a vegetable peeler.
  4. Add half of the pesto to your zoodles and toss until combined.
  5. Optional: serve with remainder of pesto on top.
  6. Enjoy!
