This Raw Avocado Pesto Zucchini Pasta is the perfect way to lighten up a classic dish. Packed with flavour + nutrition you’ll never miss the actual pasta!
Zucchinis I believe are a little bit underrated, they deserve to be on peoples’ plates a lot more. Zucchinis are so good for you, and packed with water too, so they are perfect to hydrate you while still eating.
The dish requires just a few simple ingredients, takes under 10 minutes to make. Exactly what you need, especially on a hot summer day!
To keep this raw pasta salad fresh, I would keep the pesto and sliced zucchinis separately, and when you need the meal, just mix them two together.
You can also pre-slice the zucchini, and freeze portions in bags, then just thaw for 1 hour before you need it!
