Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles

  • Wash and thoroughly dry one large zucchini. Use a vegetable spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles.

Make the Cashew-Coriander Pesto

  • Combine 1 cup of firmly packed, chopped coriander, 10 raw cashews, 10 peppercorns, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of salt (or to taste) in a food processor.
  • Blend until a coarse paste forms. Add 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice for extra brightness and blend again until well incorporated.

Dress the Zucchini Noodles

  • In a medium bowl, gently toss the zucchini noodles with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of chili flakes.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of the cashew-coriander pesto and toss to coat evenly.

Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Raw Zucchini Noodles:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, young zucchini for the best results. Avoid overripe zucchini, as they can be watery.
  • Adjust the spice level: Add more or less chili flakes depending on your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Boost the flavor: For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the pesto or noodles.
  • Garnish creatively: Enhance the presentation by garnishing with extra coriander leaves, toasted pine nuts, or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil before serving.
