Why It's So Good For You

Zucchini provides you with lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that promote healthy eyesight! They're also a source of magnesium, folate and fiber.

Ingredients

(use organic ingredients where possible)

• 3 zucchinis
• 1 cup tomatoes
• 6 soaked sun dried tomatoes
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 date
• 2 tbsp parsley or basil
• 1 tsp sea salt

Directions

1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles, or with a peeler into ribbons, and place in a large serving bowl.
2. For the sauce, place remaining ingredients in food processor/ blender until smooth.
3. To serve, place the zucchini noodles/ ribbons into bowls and pour the raw source over the top, just like you would for a bowl of pasta.

Note*

• You can eat these zucchini spirals raw but in the winter you could blanch them in boiling water for two minutes so you can serve this dish hot.
