  • 2 Tablespoons homemade pesto or store-bought
  • 1-2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut zucchini into "noodles" using a spiralizer or creating long, thin ribbons using a mandoline, very sharp knife, or vegetable peeler.
  • Place in a bowl and add the pesto and vinegar or lemon juice. Toss well to coat the noodles. Season well with salt and pepper, to taste, and top with the halved cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately.
