INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 Zucchinis

  • 1-2 Cups Spinach

  • 2 Cups Basil Leafs

  • 1/2 Cup Cherry Tomatoes

  • 2 TSP Lemon Juice

  • 1/3 Cup Olive Oil

  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut the ends off of the zucchinis. Spiralize or use julienne peeler to slice zucchini into noodles. Squeeze zoodles in cheese cloth or in between paper towels to remove excess water.
