SESAME GINGER ZUCCHINI

NOODLES

Low carb whole30 sesame ginger zucchini noodles with grilled pineapple, mango, and
mint! Fresh, healthy, and low calorie dinner recipe loaded with healthy fats and my new
favorite creamy sesame ginger sauce.
This is post surf/SUP dinner. And it’s lit! So many good flavor vibes going down on this
plate right now. I don’t know what it is about summer that makes me fall even more in love
with mangos and ginger. But it seems I have been trying to sneak them into every dish

lately.   YUM! That grilled skewer of pineapple, mint, and mango was more for fun
then anything, really. But they happen to be the perfect combo for this plate of delicious
sesame ginger zucchini noodles.
 BASICALLY SESAME GINGER CANDY

You guys. You guys! This sesame ginger dressing may have been the very best invention of
my week! I am eating this stuff like it’s my job. And dipping my finger into it like it’s
candy ginger. But, oh! The flavor of this creamy sesame dressing. It’s like a silky smooth
nutty tahini ginger candy dressing! Now who doesn’t love that?

Two simple steps to making this bomb sauce. One, add everything into your blender. And
two, purée the ingredients until it’s completely blended down into liquid gold. Then eat…
okay, maybe some of you want to actually put it ONsomething!
So, we have these noodles. Zucchini noodles are such a beautiful low carb sub for grain
pasta! And I will let you in on a little (BIG) tip! Make up a gazillion zucchini squash into
noodles using this spiralizer then freeze in individual quart size zip locks. Storing zoodles
this way is perfect for single serving noodles anytime. They hold together great! No worries
of them being destroyed, and this way zucchini won’t go bad in your crisper (I was having
this problem.). Annnd you will always have “pasta” on hand for family dinner. Wow.

Made this tonight and it was delicious! satisfying and full of fresh flavor. I panicked and
made more sauce than the recipe called for because I felt like I had A LOT of zoodles. THE
RECIPE IS ENOUGH GUYS! but the good news is now I have lots of extra sauce to use
for various other things! YUM! thanks so much for this recipe!

This looks amazing! I love the sound of that dressing. I would need more protein in this…
considering how shrimp would be if added to the fruit skewers. Or just in the noodles
themselves. Zoodles are my favorite low-carb substitution. Cauliflower rice is a close

second.

Hi Martha, this recipe has 9g protein per serving and that’s enough for me! Some

people love to add cooked chicken breast to this recipe too. Hope that helps
