Hemp Seed Pesto
Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.
This hemp seed pesto is amazing over zucchini noodles for a light and fresh Summer meal.
You can use this pesto however you like, not just for this dish! I made regular pasta for my husband, he needs the extra energy. I, on the other hand, work at a desk 8 hours a day so whenever I can lighten up meals, I usually do! You could also use the hemp seed pesto as a spread or dip for raw veggies, it’s so flavourful and fresh you can’t really go wrong!

Yum! I’m reminded of Japan for some reason;
but zucchini tastes great 🙂
This looks yum, can’t wait to try it! I have a very basic spiralizer from Bed Bath and Beyond that I bought for $15 and it does both thick and thin noodles. I can try and find a pic if you like, just shoot me an email 🙂
