FRESH SIDE DISH OR MAIN

Fresh Zucchini Noodles with Red Bell Peppers, Dill and Creamy Sauce
Raw, Vegan, Gluten-free, by Mary Fraser

A fresh zucchini noodle recipe with a creamy dairy-free sauce. Everyone has fun using the spiralizer to make these noodles and the sauce is quick and easy! All ingredients in this dish are uncooked, so use the freshest available. This fresh zucchini recipe needs to be eaten soon after made, as the zucchini will not last long after spiralized, as it will start to ‘weep’.

Yield: 2 Servings - Use Organic and Fresh Ingredients

Ingredients
•      2 Zucchini
•      4 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Dill
•      1 Red Bell Pepper- Diced into ¼ inch squares

Steps
1. To make the zucchini into noodles using a vegetable peeler or spiral slicer. Cut the “noodles” into 4-8 inch long strips. Toss with some dill and red bell peppers in a bowl.
2. Add sauce, salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh dill.
3. Serve immediately.
Tip: Freshly cut zucchini noodles don’t last long, as they start to ‘weep’ and can turn into a puddle if left too long.
