Today's lunch was very fast and delicious. Quinoa is one of my favorite foods, grain-like but not a grain , has a delicious nutty flavor and usually I have a good amount of quinoa leftover. I love the possibility that it can be mixed with a variety of ingredients.
So, for today's lunch I made a fast, simple and delicious salad. I tossed a can of organic Black Beans and Peas into my 2 cups of quinoa leftover some garden fresh halved cherry tomatoes. Season with lime juice, turmeric, fresh cracked black pepper and serve room temperature. Enjoy!
I love Zucchini, and I love to make Zucchini Noodles with my Vegetable Spiralizer machine. It turns zucchini into fun curly shapes, shoestrings and vegetable noodles , great way to add new texture to pasta dishes.
Avocados, I love them too. They are perfect for making a creamy sauce, add lot of flavor and healthy fats, turning the Zucchini Pasta a very substancial meal.
How to make this dish so creamy? Very simple and fast! All you need is a ripe avocado, fresh basil leaves, garlic , lemon juice and olive oil. Combine all these ingredients into a food processor and processing until smooth. Add salt and some crushed black pepper or your favorite seasonings.
The zucchini noodles can be made Raw or Cooked.
-To make it Raw just place the zucchini noodles in a large bowl and toss the avocado-basil sauce.
-To cook the Noodles, melt coconut or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sauce and toss with the noodles to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until heated through, then sever immediately with shrimp or you can really use any thing you'd like.
