This recipe is so delicious, easy and boasts pure, natural flavors. I’m absolutely in love with it! (and it is absolutely delightful for the 21 Day Raw Vegan Cleanse Challenge) I have been having this for supper a lot lately (this or a massive green salad with my favorite raw dressing).
Making zucchini pasta is super easy. You can choose the method depending on how fancy you want to be.
I’ve been known to just use a simple hand grater to form my noodles when I’m in a rush. A Japanese Mandolin is inexpensive and really easy to use. This is my first favorite option.
If you want to have esthetically beautiful noodles a Spiroli Slicer is the way to go. Again, this is fairly inexpensive.
I hope you enjoy this fresh, delicious recipe as much as I do! For me, with spring I get the natural urge to eat more raw fresh foods. This recipe fits the bill.
This recipe is raw, vegan, gluten free, nutrient dense, high fiber, fat free, low carb, beautiful and delicious!

Is the zucchini cooked?
No, raw.
I used lemon because I didn’t have an orange, and it still turned out delicious. I love it! I see this being a daily mid day meal in this heat especially when my zucchini plants start producing.
yummy! Just recently went HCLF vegan. I’m not much of a chef, either, so simple recipes like these (that are still very tasty) are a life-saver. 🙂
