Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Filtered water
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen peas (thawed)
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for 20-30 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
While the cashews soak, spiralize the zucchini into thin noodles using a spiralizer. If you don't have a spiralizer, a julienne peeler or mandoline can also be used. Set the zucchini noodles aside.
Prepare the Alfredo sauce by adding the soaked cashews, filtered water, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini noodles, thawed peas, and red bell pepper strips.
Pour the raw Alfredo sauce over the zucchini mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Divide the zucchini Alfredo onto serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Raw Alfredo Zucchini with Peas and Peppers!
