ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH CREAMY AVOCADO PESTO

No I’m not a vegetarian, but sometimes I just love having a day where the only thing I fill my body with are fresh fruits and veggies, especially after a big Super Bowl weekend!  Yup.  My diet yesterday pretty much consisted of beer, chicken wings, cheesy dips and pizza…..uh I think my body is screaming for a serious detox, but you know what, I enjoyed every second of it!  Especially the commercials.  And Beyonce.  I mean the Super Bowl only comes once a year so I totally welcome the little, err BIG splurge that comes with it!
ust throw everything into your food processor and blend away!  I think I could literally eat that whole thing too in one sitting, just hand me a spoon.  To make the zucchini noodles, all you need is a spiralizer (or you could julienne them, but seriously who has time for that??)  I highly recommend investing in a spiralizer because you’ll really get so much use out of it, not just zucchini, and you can get one at around $30 or less!

INGREDIENTS

• 6 large zucchini, spiralized
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• For the Sauce:
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 3 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup pine nuts
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp. sea salt
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• Cracked black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Spiralize your zucchini and set aside on paper towels so that any excess water is soaked up.
2. In a food processor, add avocados, basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice and sea salt and pulse until finely chopped. Then with the motor still running, add olive oil in a slow stream until emulsified and creamy.
